It is only one of the many passages learned by the Spanish students this year. The three classes, two Spanish I and one Span- ish II, are under the instruction of Mrs. Berra. The main objective of Spanish is to give stu- dents a basic knowledge of the spoken language, ability to read the written language, and an idea of the Spanish and Mexican customs. It also teaches an appreciation of Spanish literature and culture, and fulfills the foreign language entrance requirement of most colleges and universities. P. Crawford, M. Apodaca, N. Jones, H. Patter- son, V. Archuleta, M. Clover, A. Chavez and N. Brown sing Christmas carols in Spanish. N. Jones, C. Hart, P. Diaz, L. Ross, C. Baker, D. Russell, R. Frias, D. McCul- lar, O. Alvarez, D.

Here the bright minds of the entire world are mir- rored in the words of countless books The library was under the direction of Mrs. Margaret O'Connell. Student librarians helped in the distribution of the some 2,900 books, which included 180 that were new or rebound this year. LEFT: Wayne Rathbun glances at a new magazine in the li- brary.
