Students Learn Of Foreign Countries Through Languages Assez d’Anglais, a French newspaper, is fa- miliar to students taking French this year. The newspaper is an intra-class project to which the French students contribute. Also several French skits, to help with word pronunciation, are presented in the classes. Among these s kits are fables from La Fontaine and scenes from Bonnie and Clyde. Slides, films, and maps of Spanish speaking countries are a few of the aids used by the students taking Spanish to increase their learn- ing and understanding of the language. Students also read and study Spanish newspapers and magazines. Through the use of projects and individual research, Roman culture and customs are being explored thoroughly. This year Latin II students are introduced to Caesar while Latin III and IV students read Cicero and the poetry of Ovid. The class translations are given added realism by the use of film strips and records of Latin Orations. “No, it is not a lisp, that’s the way it’s pronounced.” Carol Howard History Ann Johnson Spanish Brian Kane English Charlynee Kovach VOT, Bookkeeping Katherine Lipscomb Assist.

Junior And Senior Phys. Ed. Classes Now Offered The Physical Education Department offers variety in its curriculum. Classroom preparation includes health and driver education, while sessions in the gymnasium provide opportunities for participation in team sports and individual competitive activities. In an effort to broaden these individual competitive activities the department hopes to work with the Curtis Campaign in order to get money to buy a wrestling mat or a trampoline.
