S lric tl y Speaking Be energetic, be enthusiastic, and above all, be prepared, are familiar statements to speech and debate students. These three facts are emphatically stressed, and if carried out effectively, a person will not only be a successful speaker, but a success in life as well.

No, it's just the language classes practicing the unfamiliar sounds of a foreign tongue. People must understand one another to be com- patible, and since language remains as the basis of human communication, learning anotherls lan- guage is a step towards better understanding and world peace. A language course not only gives one experience in mental gymnastics, but it also provides a profound knowledge of the Cus- toms, geography, and history of that country. This personal insight to foreign lands can be ob- tained in no other way. If you think English is hard, try German, the language of science, French, the language of romance, Spanish, the tongue of our Latin Amer- ican neighbors, or Latin, the solid foundation of many of the world's languages. Invest in a lan- guage and you invest in an exciting and worth- while experience. P- A QC! U ff 3 3 ,- is .22 t i V ,u If l w t 2. f 1 6 r Hu r 1 L K .v If Q 1 4 C 1 rf ful ' I s as XF I y x:.l1, ' .
