Miss Roberson and her French class are studying correct This class finds that Spanish can be fun when they vary pronunciation their work by singing in Spanish, With the world changing-growing smaller as it is, times are changing cmd Smith High is attempting to keep up. Since a knowledge of more than one language is practically essential to anyone who wants to get ahead in the world, the curriculum has been developed to include the three basic languages of Latin, French, and Spanish. The aim of the foreign language department is to teach the students not only how to read and write a language, but to speak it and to understand it when it is spoken. The desirability of using the language as much as possible in the class is stressed. Since the traits of the people and the customs of a country are important to world under- standing, these are taught in addition to the native tongue of the country. French students explore the Gallic culture and geopraphyg while Spanish students investigate the manner of living in Mexico and South America. Certain to be included in a Latin course would be mythology and the derivation of English words from the Latin stems and prefixes. As an outgrowth ofthe interest stimulated in these language classes, Latin and French Clubs have been formed, where novel ways of learning can be used, and where more varied pro- grams can be carried on. The French line-club, that is: From top to bottom, Front row: Roberta Peebles, Verna Baines, Mary Stephens, Hilda Holmes, Wilburt Harrell, Mary Wilson.
