FRENCH STUDENTS in Sister Berenice ' s class react with varied interest to Margaret Jackson ' s recitation. Romance Language Students With the greater need for accurate communication today, more is being expected of high school English and foreign language courses. At St. Joseph ' s the new advanced placement pro- gram in English encouraged the student to make full use of his talents. Anthologies of modern writers, daily SRA speed reading tests, novels taken in depth, and a complete study of drama became fa- miliar areas to the student. In the foreign languages, the emphasis was on the natural method, learning a language as naturally as the native tongue is learned. Audio-visual aids and tape recordings of actual French and Spanish speaking people gave the student a firmer grasp of the new language. More advanced groups in Latin studied the literary styles of Virgil and Cicero and sections of the Vulgate. A TAPE IN SPANISH is the center of interest for Brother Anton, Mike Landgraf and Jim Mullen. 24
