. 4..- lf Spanish is this easy, I think A l'll sign up for it next year. Until recently, Latin had really been a dead language for Key West High stu- dents. Last year, the course was rein- stated mainly for college-prep students. One of the principal advantages of the study of Latin is that a basic knowl- edge of it tends to develop an un- derstanding of the English lan- guage and grammar and an appreciation of English culture. A better feeling for art, music, and literature is among the aims of this course. This must be a comical word. At least, that's the impression Mrs. Tatum and her class give us 20 and Languages f Mrs. Stark and students listen attentively as Kathy Hansket gives her first speech. In Key West, a Latin town, it is a decided asset to know how to speak Spanish. Moreover, the college prep course demands a language. These two needs are fulfilled by the Spanish depart- ment which offers a complete course in two years. In this time, the students learn the history and customs of the people of Spain and Latin America as well as the grammar and phonetics of the language. They carry on conversations with each other and read aloud to the class. This department sponsors the Spanish Club.
