The excitement of learning how people in other countries converse is experienced by Latin and Spanish pupils here at jeff. Two-year courses are offered in each language. Latin is a very interesting course which is also help- ful in learning other languages. It is presented by Miss Carolyn Griffin. Learning how the ancient Romans lived and worked is also a part of the course. Spanish, a very colorful language, is taught by Mr. Raymond McGlothlin. Some of the Spanish and South American history is taught along with the learning of the language of these people.
