Foreign Languages MARGIE KUCAN, French III student, receives instructions from the voice on the tape. Como estas? Tres bien. Et tu. To many of us, at least one of these phrases is from a familiar dialogue we learned as beginning foreign language students. The first two years of a foreign language are spent learning the correct grammatical forms and a basic vocabulary. For the first time, Spanish IV, Latin IV, and French III were offered to students who wished to become more adept in conversational usage. As results of high scores on tests taken at Indiana University, seven Spanish students won trips to Mexico for 10 weeks. They lived with Mexican families during their visit and attended classes seven hours a day. The practical knowledge gained by living in the native atmosphere was helpful. Modern equipment is used in foreign language classrooms. Probably the most helpful of these aids is the language-lab. Other aids which we find useful are language records, tapes, films, and filmstrips. IN ORDER to facilitate learning the French language, Sharon Gnemi, Trina Tvler, and Nada Starcevich arrange a bulletin board of pictures, drawings, and postcards. SPANISH FAMILY life is portrayed by Connie Robinson, Louise Pattee, Judy Hodges, and Nick Vasil.

MR. ELMER MOLCHAN and several Wal¬ lace students attend the first National Security Seminar at I. U. Extension. With the current world crises shaping the lives of future citizens of the world, it is becoming more imperative that we understand the problems that confront us. In world history, we delve into the problems of the world as a whole. We study U.S. History to learn how our country developed into a great nation. As seniors, we learn the mechanics of our government. Economics or world problems may be taken during the second semester. AP U.S. History was offered for the first time to qualified juniors. Taught by Miss Shirley Bryan, it introduces students to college lecture instruction. The opportunity for deep research on one ' s own is a major goal in this class.
