Spanish Miss Donna Fisk Returns to NHS New ideas, new approaches, and a new face added to last year's comprehension of the Spanish language. Class discussions were held in oral Spanish. Miss Donna Fisk, who returned to NHS from Columbia, Missouri, where she had been teaching at the Lab school, led the discussions. Miss Fisk said, Using the words every day is necessary for the understanding of the language. We talked in Spanish and held discussions with the words they had learned from their texts. Headphones and visual aids also helped the students. Colorful bulletin boards with Spanish titles led students to develop their vocabularies and to better comprehend the culture of the Spanish people. Artifacts and relics, gathered by Miss Fisk while studying at the University of Mexico, made the subject more meaningful to the students. PARTICIPATION Increases Interest ln Spanish.
