FOREIGN LANGUAGE Louise Bomar Betty Guno nigga Ga-ij-ner Jantord Mason Jean Wilcox The Foreign Language Department is composed of three divisions-French, Latin, and Spanish. A four-year course is offered in Latin and in Spanish, while two years of French are available. Not only does the student study the language it- self, but also he becomes acquainted with the lives and history of the people connected with it. For the interested student, in each division, there are out- side activities sponsored by the French Club, the Junior Clas- sical League, and the Pan-Am Club. Through these activities and through class work, the student can develop a deep feel- ing of understanding for his fellow man of today and yester- day. SPEECH Enioyment is linked with learning in the Speech Depart- ment, as students take part in its many types of productions both in class and for the student body. ln this way the stu- dent may develop not only personal confidence but also the ability to express himself effectively. One semester of interpretation, an introductory speech course, and radio speech are offered to him as beginning courses, After one year of dramatics, he may become a mem- ber of Vagabonds and continue in this field for two more years. From the benefits of this program many students are adequately prepared for careers directly related to their speech training. Miriam Todd Miss Bomar shows Miss Gardner and Mrs. Gano her pinata.
