Lan uages Take 21 Lot of Learning The Latin I class studied the reasons for taking Latin and the heritage from the Romans and Greeks. They also learned the Greek alphabet. Their greatest accomplishment was learning to read Latin. The Latin ll class continued to learn to read, comprehend. and understand more Latin. In the read- ings the students learned the Roman way of life, poli- tics. and Roman and Creek 1'llYlllOl0gy. The seventh grade Spanish students learned short dialogues every day. Display charts were used for teaching vocabulary and sentences. Reports, maps, displays. filmstrips, and slides of the Hispanic world afford the students the opportunity to visualize the foreign language environment. ln Spanish I students learned dialogues using film- strips. Pattern drills were used for practicing pronun- ciation and establishing good linguistic habits. Read- ing of simple narrations was introduced followed by oral questions. ln Spanish II a variety of oral exercises served as a guide to the practice of the basic grammatical struc- tures. Wlritten exercises were designed for making the transfer from the spoken to the written forms of the language. Spanish I and II used the language laboratory as a reinforcement and evaluating the students' aural-oral skills. Songs and games took a big part in the Spanish classes. bs 'N ANCY WEEKLEY Brenda Taylor Emma Walker Teresa demonstration during a seventh grade Spanish class.

The classes took advantage of the opportunities to explore traditional and modern art in oil, tenlpera. and water color. Ceramic facilities were available at all times for those interested in this type of art. Students made projects by using natural materials. Interesting three dimensional sculptures resulted. Art classes also worked with direct metal sculpture. Hrs. Stuber also taught junior high art classes. They made many decorations throughout the year and learned the basics of artistic design.
