English Study Teaches Better Communication Using the new opaque pro- jector, Mr. Lewinski points out Vocabulary rests, term papers, and floor talks en- able students to express their knowledge of grammar principles, concepts of literarure, and vocabulary. The study of Shakespeare ' s plays and other great litera- ture provides the opportunity for students to enrich rheir background in the classics. Studies in compo- sition, grammar, and vocabulary aid them in com- municating with others. An opaque projector for projecting written material on a screen was added to the department this year. This along with the reading accelerators, records, and film strips helps provide an interesting variation in the curriculum. During the sophomore year the department strives to give a background in the classics by the study of Silas Marner. In the junior year this background is furthered by the study of Macbeth and the works of great English authors. During their final year, seniors study other works of poetry and prose both modern and classical. Steve Hickman points out one of the many interesting aspects of the Olohe Theater to AuHrey Shepelak and Kay Nemyer. 22

Some, how- ever, may wish to go on to further education in busi- ness.

To help overcome the difficult pronunciation problems en- countered in French, Diana Del- linger and Carole Laws listen for errors in their previously recorded recitation. Languages Bring World ' s People To Classroom Puer est, Comprenez-vous? and Como-esta- usted, are frequently heard around the Dome from foreign language students. Strengthening English vo- cabulary, learning about the country, and developing skill in another language are some of the goals of the Foreign Language Department. In French and Spanish classes records and maga- zines are used to help acquaint the students with pronuciation and the language as it is being used now. Latin students are offered movies along with a variety of maps and outside reading books to supple- ment their course of study. The advanced Latin, French, and Spanish classes do more reading in their language as they attempt to become more skilled in using the language. In the spring, a Latin trip, as well as country-wide tests for Spanish and French students, offer a change in the regular schedule. At Christmas time, the sounds of carols can be heard ringing from corridor to corridor. Latin classes send carolers around the halls with Christmas cheer. 23
