FOREIGN LA GUA GE Se habla Espanol! On parle Francais! Man spricht Deutsch! l'll'B0l'HM lTll- TYCCKM VVe speak many languages. All of them are the keys to universal friendship. VVithout language we couldn't meet new people or make new friends. Language spans the distance between countries and strengthens the bonds between them. North Miamians, realizing the value of a World at peace, have incorporated into our curriculum a fascinating and intensive foreign language program. The curriculum includes four years of the language of our Latin American neighbors, four years of French, four years of Latin, three years of German, and two years of the language most recently of- fered, Russian. In an attempt to promote friendship, North Miami Senior High participates in the American Field Service Program. Annually our students raise money to send a North Miami student to a foreign country. Since orr program originated in 1957, we have sent students to Turkey, Germany, and Denmark. Our school has been visited by students from Holland, Denmark, Germany, and Japan. Capable is the word for our foreign language instructors: Mrs. Whelpton, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Atwood, Mrs. Doran, Mrs. Nicholas, Mrs. Beal, Mrs. Steinberg, Miss Kennedy, 'lmlkyv , 37'P:f 6' ,,. ri. fu r v iv H F ' ' . f f i I A ' reagirgg 'nigga l W r wwf r r' .1 Q. gal' If -f J ' . , fl' it fiffi 1 -A .K V ,755-r5.5 , 3. tp, , 1 Miss students an QLAUW Cback rowj Mr. MacDonald, r.

Untiring in her efforts in the SPEECH DEPARTMENT, Mrs. Hicks has brought many honors to North Miami through her classes and her sponser-ship of the National Forensic League. PEECH A D DRAMA Mr. Delong's philosophical ideas, accompanied by a far- reaching knowledge of art aid his students to an insight into life as well as art. In this day of automation, Mrs. Gaetano guides the fu- ture's writers with skill and patience, and her crowded classes exemplify her victory over apathy. f f Q, :rf . r ' , 'Q 44 .

Our cultural development through the arts leads us to appreciate the things around us. The guidance of teachers in these departments has lead us to greater ascetic appreciation and to a fuller life. To some, these classes have served as an inspiration. To others experience in these fields will be used in later life. To all, they are the tool of self-expression. Behind the busy desk and occupied expression, is the head of our publications department, Mr. Niles. The watchdog- and-chief of the Pioneer and Conestoga, his unbounding energy and effort has insured development of journalism in our school. x .PVI hs' W A If ,
