I Hgkx f .gil -arf' 7 ' 's Q 4 i . L 'N Foreign Language Four years of Spanish, French, German, Russian, Latin and Hebrew were offered by the Foreign Language Department. A fifth year of Spanish could be taken by those who were eligible. Much oral work and repetition was necessary in studying all foreign languages. After many hours of practice, pupils were expected to be able to hear and repeat the correct word and syllable pronunciations. ln correlation with text books, music and dialogue tapes were used for listening compre- hension and to hear the natural tone and speed of the language. In the first year of a language students learned the basics of sentence structure, where accents lie, coniugation of regular and irregular verbs and pronunciation of all letters and dip- thongs. Different verb tenses, subiunctives and writing and translating simple essays were taught in the second year. Third year of a foreign language went deeply into culture with the reading of two novels. Speeches and talks were given during the fourth year. More advanced novels having deeper plots were also read. Fifth year of Spanish involved being able to think and speak fluently in the language. Little English was spoken in the classroom. With the aid of the language laboratory teachers could tell where students needed help. Structural drills were then con- ducted in those areas. Many teachers spent extra time at school working with those students who needed special help. Students were required to take at least two years of a foreign language to meet college entrance requirements. Marti Cate, Debbie McConeghy and Jackie Brickman worked to complete a French class proiect. Colorful scenes from France were displayed on the montage. Sessions in the language lab supplemented regular class work. Spanish students listened to records and tapes to help them understand the dialect better.

Gymnastics was the largest area in the department. Excellent equipment was provided for student use in this section. The activities of field hockey and hard- ball were different classes from those offered in other Tucson Public High Schools. Boys in their senior year who took PE as an elective were involved in senior leadership. They assisted teachers with different activities in freshmen classes. Modified PE was offered for those with health problems. The activities offered to them were horseshoes, table tennis and modified gymnastics. A doctor's excuse was needed for a boy to be classified into a modified physical education class. Much time was spent scheduling the facilities so they could be put to maxi- mum use. They were not only shared by both the boys' and girls' classes, but also by the boys in sports. XR .. is 'Wig 's
