'Ibn Spanish 'infiltrates' traditional tongues Je vais tres bien, merci. Et vous? Religiously repeating simple sentences, French I students launch the construction of their second language. Concentrating on cultivating Parisian accents, French upperclassmen battle the ever- present problem of franglais while discussing the philosophies of Hugo and Rabelais. The romantic inilections of Spanish, though newly introduced this year, captivated dozens of students. St. Paul's third language had its share of happenings : senors and senoritas around the school can tell you with a wry smile of their delicious heartburn after dining at an authentic Spanish restaurant. Desregarding the Hnumbled hubbub of the modern tongues, Latin lovers patiently re-enact Cirero's scathing speeches against Cataline, and pump some life into the dead language with an excursion to the beautiful Masada. Whether he travels', tc the Eiffel Tower, the bullring, or the Coliseum, the student finds his opportunities branching out with his increasing knowledge of world dialects.
