In Latin they study the language and cul- ture of the Romans, enriched by reports and special projects. Grammar and derivatives are emphasized in daily translations and vocabu- laries. The geography of the Roman world is studied through maps. wall charts. and Caesars campaigns. French. with the goal of making a pupil understand and of having himself understood. is taught with stress on pronunciation through taped French voices and records, Both basic grammar rules and reading the language are emphasized also. Songs. original conversa- tions. poems. and thoughts are used to stimu- late interest and oral practice. Club meetings aid in teaching the background of France and her people. Thus students are provided with a cultural background for personal enjoyment or fur- ther study. With a curtsy of the skirt and a tip of hat. French students sing l'Sur le Pont D'Avignon.'l
