at 7:00 A. M. Babbling in Foreign Tongues Students struggled with umlauts, nasal sounds, pro- nunciation, and oral themes in foreign language classes this year. Whether they were German, French, Latin, or Spanish students they dealt with basically the same problems. Vocabulary must be memorized. Second year Latin students compiled a vocabulary notebook of about 1,000 of the most used Latin words. The French, German, and Spanish students found they must know the meaning of words to translate stories. Another goal for students was the proper pro- nunciation of the vowels. Tapes with dialogue re- corded in the foreign tongue and accent helped stu- dents match their inflection and enunciation with that of an expert. Classes probed into the history and cul- ture of the lands where their language is spoken. Ger- man students did special reports on famous writers, artists, and composers. Pupils of the modern languages found out how the people live in their respective countries. Miss June Johnston, who went to Spain on the Fullbright Plan, enlivened her classes with stories of colorful Spain. French classes read through plays about French life, and German classes read German magazines from the school library. While these students learned of the countries today, second-year Latin students refought Caesar ' s wars with Gaul and Great Britain. Because of crowded conditions advanced language students rose to shine for 7 o ' clock classes. They awoke to converse in different tongues and translate famous stories. They enjoyed the challenge of learning a second language. NOT AGAIN! pleads Richard Nix to his cruel Roman master, Greg Lancaster, while Kathy Gaylor watches. These advanced Latin students acted out this play to make Roman history vivid. June Johnston John Badbry Spanish French Mary Hess Kenata Luma Latin German 21
