Language honoraries were founded at Overlea to permit interested and qualified students to participate in activities related to the customs and practices of foreign countries. The Spanish, French, and Latin honoraries attempt to engage themselves in matters which concern their specific coun- tries, cultures. They hold their meetings in the foreign languages, take trips which are associated with some aspect of the foreign culture, and carol at Christmas time in their respec- tive languages. The Spanish honorary un- dertook an especially challenging project in organizing. writing, publishing, and sell- ing their own Spanish newspaper. At the same time the French honorary attended the annual production of the The- atre Francaise at Goucher. All groups try to' bring about appreciation of the worldis peoples and their cultures. -e 'e 5 t, 5 Displayilzg superior !lChfl'U0lI1CIlfS in foreign lan- guage, nzvnzbers of the Latin, Spanish, and French Honorfzries furlherwl their I-rnowlezlge in various l.l1fPN!'I'fllI1f pzlrsufls. .:t.,, ,.,M,,., ,M,,,ga 2 r - I , s.-: 9. , -1
