French students Sharon Dugan, Ann Copenhaver, and Emmy Jones post advertisements from French magazines on a bulletin board. Richard Osborne ope- rates a tape recorder for a language class be- ing held in the regular classroom. Lan guages- A new method of teaching pronunciation of foreign language sounds was introduced at Pat- rick Henry this year. Sponsored by the Encyclo- pedia Britannica Films, Inc., Temac phonetic material was given to classes of French, Latin, Spanish, and German. The complete German course consisted of this material developed at Hollins College. There was no programmed phonetic course in Russian. Most students who participated in this pro- gram were able to go at their own speeds since each had a tape recorder and ear phones. Be- cause three were a limited number of tape re- corders in the language lab, some pupils re- mained in the regular classroom to listen to a tape recorder operated by their teacher. The emphasis placed on pronunciation of the language was perhaps inspired by the quotation which is hung on the wall of' the language lab, lt is not a language unless you speak it.' 1 34

The Patrick Henry Choir, under the direction of Mr, Robert M, Griffey, performs at the Christmas Assembly. The Arts-Both Aesthetic and Art Students Sharon Dugan, Tommy Burnette, and Diane Watts hang an abstract to decorate the school. The Patrick Henry Chair, Band, and Orchestra rehearsed in comfort last fall and this spring in the only air-conditioned class room in the Roanoke City School System. Because the Music Room is sound-proof, there are no windows. The main room, having a multi-level floor with space for a ll5 member music group, features a row of music and instrument storage cabinets. In addition, there are three practice rooms, a library and offices. The Art and Industrial Arts classes, in ad- dition to their regular courses of study, have been responsible for beautifying Patrick Henry during its first year. Besides maintaining art bulletin boards and providing various art de- signs used throughout the halls, art students made murals, mosaics, and tapestries, which con- tributed variety and color. The members of the Industrial Arts classes built some of the furniture needed by the cast in their new llsetll' 36
