Become Apt Linguists Every person learns to speak a native language. He may, at the same time, learn to speak a second language. This op- portunity is given to South Houston stu- dents by the four foreign language courses offered. These are Spanish, French, Latin, and German. By studying a foreign lan- guage, a student develops a closeness to the foreign people and, thus, understands them and their country better. Lothar Diess and Christelle Byrne display costumes, a pipe, and a minia- ture band obtained in Germany. Lothar is a native of Germany, and Christelle visited there during a European tour last summer. Latin is no course to be taken lightly, as is shown by the intent concentration on a Latin story by Elliott Wheeler, Jeff Grimes, and Carolyn Chamblin. Herman L. Grammer acquired his B.A. degree from Baylor University. He teaches English, French, and German. Mr. Grammer is sponsor of both the French and German Clubs. 33
