FRANCES C. WEST M.Ed., U, of Arkansas, English Oh, no, Randy, they got our picture. Foreign Languages The study of Spanish, Latin, and,French gives students a new under- standing of English. ln addition, these afford an opportunity for in- creased vocabulary and greater effectiveness in oral and written ex- pression of the language studied: Latin helps students to understand and appreciate Latin literature and also lite of the classical period. Using tapes, recordings, and records, Spanish students quickly adapt to the pronunciation of the Spanish language. Current magazines and newspapers written in Spanish add to the regular material of the class. French students are aided by rec- ords, recordings, newspapers, and magazines. MRS.

BENNY GRANT B.A., Northwestern State: English English English is the basic course which gives students a key to knowledge and communication, it helps them to become better speakers, better writers, better readers, and better listeners. ln addition, through litera- ture, the student has a key to life. He learns to better understand him- selt, to work out harmonious relationships with other people, to achieve some philosophy of lite, some inner center from which to view in per- spective the shitting society around him. The courses in literature are further designed to influence the development of the emotional nature by forming an appreciation ot literature. Study hard, Sonia. MRS. JOY WEBB MRS.
