of Lnowfecli r The depth and feeling of our western culture were given greater meaning through better understanding of our own English language. Just as that culture encompasses many fields, so did our training vary in both means and result. Grammar became a priceless tool in publish- ing the Periscope — words took on new vitality in the preparation of our Annual. Books became close friends — masterpieces, our source of inspiration. Many moments of pleasure were spent browsing in the library, discovering fas- cinating horizons of literature. English was now an important part of our life's pattern, inte- grated so as never to be separated. Pantomime serves a definite purpose in Public Speaking classes.

The door to intrigue and world adventure opened through our Language Department. Fabulous treasures of foreign customs and traditions appeared as we began to under- stand the beautiful tongues of many peoples. Our classrooms revealed exciting atmosphere as we thrilled to the splendor of native life through movies and slides. Practice brought proficiency in speaking, writing, and reading these languages, and international friendship was furthered as we sang Christmas carols and other songs from oil parts of the world.
