Foreign Cultures Inspire Students' Lives When one walks into Room 203, he can sud- denly feel the air of Spain, its matadors and the bullfights they engage in as Mrs. Gugala relates it to her students. Or else you can picture yourself on the pampas of Argentina, seeing a few gauchos riding on their slow-trotting horses. But when one enters Room 208, he can feel L'Espirit de Francois as Mr. Headley speaks of France and its culture. Along with the necessary grammar and usage instructions, the French textbook is filled with humorous stories about the French people and their interesting school system and customs. Finally one can experience the glorious days of Rome and of Caesar, as Sister Clare Celmer or Sister Marie Harold bring out the wonders of Latin to their students. With the expert help and guidance of the Language teachers, the Arrow strives to become the exceptional linguist, and when he reaches his goal, the Arrow can know and relate to the world a little bit better through the languages he speaks.
