PUZZLING STORIES CHALLENGE LANGUAGE STUDENTS Ready! Aiml Fire! Robert Bremer works with an old Roman weapon while Gail Sleeth, Robert Longstreet, Miss Durrenberger, Shirley McNew, Dave Mardis, and Dan Barnett tensely look on. Foreign Language Classes Verbs and their conjugations, vocabulary, Caesar and Cicero, translation, dictation, and oral comprehension are a few of the things connected with the study of either Latin or Spanish. Some of the less routine study aids included magazines and newspapers, recordings of songs, conver- sations, stories, and a mystery novel which was read by the fourth semester Spanish class. CThe mystery was a double thriller because students discovered a mystery in the trans- lation as well as the one in the plotll For the first time in several years, Latin V and VI were offered to those students desiring to learn more about this language and the historical people associated with it. jane Durrenberger is the instructor in foreign language classes. Library The library was, as always, a popular place to spend study or free time. Books and magazines were available for pleasure and research. One of the frequently used features of the library was the shelf containing yearbooks from various high schools and colleges. The Advanced History Class made extensive use of the libraryg other students sought information for term papers and speeches. Among the juniors trying to earn an Ab in history class, Let the Hurricane Roar was the most reported- on book. The majority of the girls favored Seventeen and M cCall,sg many of the boys devoured Popular Mechanics, Sport, and The Atlantic Journal, deep thinkers explored America, At- lantic Monthly, and The Clearing House. By using these library facilities, many students saved the money that other- wise would have purchased issues of these magazines. 8 Jane Durrenberger, Latin, Spanish. A. B., A.
