Foreign language study also aids students ' English Gaining a basic understanding and culture of a language, Marshall ' s foreign language students learn to communicate with our foreign neigh- bors. Exchanging ideas from one language to another and preserving the basic meaning is a highly diffi- cult task. Students must not over- look the rules of good grammar. In the beginning of the course, students face basic dialogues, followed by grammar and literature study. The Foreign Language Depart- ment offers four years of French, German, Latin, Spanish and a one- semester course in Derivatives. The materials used for presentation in learning are maps, overhead pro- jectors and the language laboratory. Mr. Millard Arnold heads the Foreign Language Department. He is new to Marshall and teaches Spanish and French. Students learn to sing and enjoy songs of their language that they are studying. A student can compre- hend and improve his English gram- mar and composition through his study of foreign language. Skits aid the students in using their language more conversationally. Students studying a foreign language gain not only academic training, but also an insight into other people of the world. Language is one tool that people can use to make the world a better place in which to live. Studying diligently during class with the aid and assistance of her Spanish book is junior Terry Weaver. 23

An important finish to any sewing project, whether a simple apron or a suit, is the press- ing of darts, seams, sleeves, facings, pleats, and hems. Tailoring requires special care. Calling attention to girl ' s fashion is an original display set up in the Home Eco- nomics Department. Demonstrating how to measure and pin in a hem, Mrs. Marilyn Johananneson measures a student ' s dress length, to make cer- tain the ruler and the pins are straight. Working on her jumper, junior Sandy South presses the seam be- fore she completes the project and prepares to turn it in to her Home Economics teacher for a final grade.
