languages study country’s heritage to help understanding Foreign languages extend an opportu- nity to learn more about the source of many words in our English language and also to acquaint us with the people and customs of foreign countries. French students experienced the op- portunity of reciting poetry and reading plays. This helped not only to improve their diction but also acquainted them with the written language. Before the Christmas holidays, stu- dents studying Spanish became familiar with the customs and traditions of the Latin American countries by making pinatas and singing Christmas carols in the language. The attendance of several Spanish speaking foreign students in the Spanish classes and participation in national tests gave the LHS students greater insight into the language. German students also enjoyed the pre- holidays by singing Christmas carols. La- tin students partook in national tests. La Senora Adame esta monstrando las pinatasquc los alumnos han hecho.

social studies Seniors Lawrence Lindberg and Harry Morgan pause ot look at a layout of the capital on the senior government classes trip to Topeka. extends student’s initiative and interest The Social Studies department dur- ing the past years has become very com- plex and this year was no exception. A variety of teachers was beneficial to the students. Team-teaching allowed the classes to have different teachers lecture on specific fields of study in each class. This not only provided more in- formation but also a new face from time to time. The students were offered the usual histories of America and world and also American government for the seniors. In the government classes special speak- ers were heard from the local banks and the Social Security Department. A trip was also taken in the early spring to the Legislature. The classes also had special sections during the second semester on economics, psychology and communism. One of the afternoon guest speakers answers a question from the audience. Representatives of the government classes Karen Fin- frock, David Richardson, Nancy Maloney, Mary Middlestadt and teacher Mr. Binns talk with two Democrat candidates who ran for the state positions.
