LHHGUHBE MJ- our 'U Mr. Hollidge, Mrs. Spencer, Miss Anellini A choice of 3 languages, Latin, French, and Spanish is offered to the stud- ents of O. U. H. S. Since universities require two years of a foreign lan- guage for admission, it is important for a student to be sure he is studying the language recommended for his specific course. The classes under the instruction of Miss Anellini, Mr. Hollidge, and Mrs. Spencer learn something of the history, literature, customs, and life of the people besides studying the language itself. The annual Spanish Fiesta under the leadership of Miss Anellini proved very successful again this year. The Roman banquet, which has become an annual event forMrs. Spen- cer's Latin classes, was thoroughly enjoyed by all who participated. The newest activity of the foreign language department, Mr. Hollidge's Spanish newspaper, has many enthusiastic supporters among the stu- dents. fiffffkmgy 0 V 0 0
