English was difficult enough, but now we had to learn the pronunciation and grammar of a whole new language. Spanish, French, and Latin are the languages offered to L.C. students. Ninth graders studied their chosen language more ex- tensively dealing with more difficult grammar and more conversational practice. ln the fall, the Spanish Club was formed for students interested in more practice with the language. Also, for the second time, the Rhudean Reeves Memorial Award was given to a deserving ninth grade Spanish student. Correct proununciation is an integral part of language learning. Practicing with the tape recorder are Sally Bow- man and John Coudray of Mrs. Krend's French I class. 16 CRow lp Mr. Gilbert Herrera, Language Dept. Chairman, Spanish, Latin, Spanish Club.

Mr. Eoff and Mr. Padilla, as all math teachers, take a personal interest in their students MNH WAS A QUCCEQQION OF PROBLEMS Math was the favorite of many students this year. Seventh graders found mang new math terms and concepts in their first year at La Cumbre. Soon, though, they got into the swing of it and were doing well. The eighth grade delved further into the mystery of numbers, using those formerly baffling properties such as the commutative, associative, and distributive principles. The ninth grade studied either General Math, which went over unclear points and introduced new ones, or Algebra, which, although confusing at times, went pretty well. fav ' .i ' A r , 1 .
