Language--The Bridge to Diplomacy Languages Many activities were held in different classes of the language department supervised by its eight teachers. English students prepared book reports and source papers. The reading program was unique, for our school is one of the few where the librarians talked individually with each student about his book. French and Spanish students were instructed by Mr. McFall, who replaced Miss Eddy. Records, songs, and visitors provided variation; and students were further exposed to a language by having it spoken to them throughout the class period. Latin classes, ably directed by Mrs. Skinner, studied the writings of Caesar, Cicero, and Plato. All work and no ploy is fine for Jack but Spanish club members vary their educational program when they meet one evening of each month. Refreshments, served by Linda Adel-son, are enjoyed by Linda Louret and Mr. McFall, adviser, (front row) and Ron DeWoody, Cheryl Plowman, and Clinton Best (back row). Who ever heard of a time keeper in English class? No, they're not playing games, they're giving book reports.
