From mama to democracy, the Fifty-niners have uttered millions of words in their mother tongue, scarcely turning a hair in the process, except when asked to define or enunciate them correctly, As the Fifty-niner grows, he becomes aware of foreign countries. l-le envisions them in geography, places them in history, worries about them in cur- rent events, but only in relation to his own country. Not until a student enters a course in speaking a foreign language does he truly recognize other nations as distinct entities sheltering human beings with the same abilities to think, speak, teel, and act that he has. It is what separate men have done with their abilities that distinguishes one civilization from an- other. A language records the accomplishments of men living in close proximity to one another. We study a language land therefore, a peoplel to learn what has been done, to know what needs to be done. The history of a race is reflected in its language. Words for abstract ideas, like democracy, in- crease as a society's inventions free man from grubbing for the bare necessities to thinkingj lan- guage develops through hundreds of years from its primary purpose of communication to its highest, personal expression - just as the people that speak it grow from savages to artists. txwmumm.. than iust memory work Faraway places become real to Spanish students through their study of Spain's great writings.

Two golden faces--one come- dy, the other tragedy--symbolize drama at SBI-lS in '59. ln addi- tion to being the insignia ot the National Thespian Society, the masks each stood tor a play at Card City this year. The comedy was Out of the Frying Pan, and hilarious it was, indeed. A tale ot several aspiring young actors trying to make ends meet in New York, the play delighted over two thousand in two evenings of performance. Breaking away from the light side, Rebel Without a Cause brought hoods, gang tights, and teenage problems to the boards ot the SBHS stage. The many changes of scene in Rebel made necessary a new kind at staging where the sets were actually large props in spot- lights. Behind the scenes an actor's suitcase lay open, exposing jars ot powder-green, pink, white, gray, tubes ot grease paint, glue for false moustaches, ragged garments, everyday garments, tilmy garments, dummy revolvers-all clever tools used by actors to suggest the unreal. But drama is something more than the donning ot disguises. The make-believe people must speak and walk and ges- ture as real people actually do. ln drama classes students learn pitch, pause, and LOUDER, please. They learn where to walk on the stage C blocking l and to cover mistakes ot tel- low performers, Most import- ant, they learn to conquer mounting stage fright by carry- ing on the best they can. Any applause is richly de- served, thank you. News of the tragic chicken race in REBEL comes to the police station via telephone. Barney Mc- Clure takes down details as they are received by Tony Acosta. Adding bushy eyebrows to Milt Winters is Ruben Villavecencio while Chet Sunde looks on. Linda Blackburn and Penny Bunce are absorbed in applying old standbys mascara and lipstick in preparation for REBEL. Bud Mayer, portraying the frantic Plato in REBEL, is surrounded by the Inspector lTony Acostal and his assistants !Dan Gallarclo and Sam Buchanan.l Witty farce, tense drama 1'
