Languages Broaden Foreign Concepts N.H.S. language students plodded through French, Spanish, or Latin classes with the aid of brand new textbooks. Abandoning classical methods of vocabulary drills and verb conjugation, teachers stressed progress toward thinking French or correctly .pro- nouncing everyday Spanish words. Tape re- corders and records, two of the language teacher's most effective tools, familiarized students with the sound of the language. Thus vocabularies grew for first-year stu- dents much in the same manner that a child learns to speak his native language. Whether by modern techniques or by age-old methods of memorization, study of foreign languages and their related civilizations opened up a new world of far-off lands for numerous Vikings. Maps of Roman lands, recorded lyrics of French folk songs, and unintelligible discussions of Spanish patriots testified to this fact. 29

Tooth Brushes and Paint Enliven Arts Lights, action, and the play begins. Our dramatics teacher Mrs. Coffindaffer gives her classes the ever-necessary training and experience needed to produce plays. The dramatics department presents short plays for Christmas and Easter assemblies. Mem- bers of this department also present one-act plays for paid assemblies and district and state competition between high schools. Mrs. C also directs the senior class play in the fall and the junior class play in the spring. Spring 1967 saw the production of South Pacific. Fun and frolic for juniors and sen- iors in the cast and those working back stage resulted in a successful money-making effort for the junior class. Mrs. Harris leads art students in studies of various art forms, the history of art, and different art materials. These varied ap- proaches to art provide a basis for the crea- tive expression of students with all types of personalities. The art classes have a display on A-hall at all times. Janie Hoer and Jo Alice Ruble exhibit a spirit of creativity while making facial masks for Art I class. For a pantomime Senior Bob Cregger brushes his teeth while in the mirror his image, Jerry Shafer, mimics him as Mrs. Coffindaffer watches in dramatics class arf- .fi X?'g. -::.g:ir3:a,:: gg. .
