only fifth year French class in Indiana The highlight of Howe ' s foreign language department is the exceptional summer program, made possible by coop- eration with the study-abroad program at Indiana University. This course offers further study for gifted pupils in Spanish and French. To qualify, one must take a series of tests and finally an oral review. The program is taken in either Mexico or France, and lasts for two months. Last year, Howe was proud to have four students selected for this program. Each year, students from the Spanish, French, and Latin clubs give an international Tea. This activity is open to any pupils studying a foreign language, and offers varied guest speakers and skits. The Spanish club gives a Christmas party each year which features a Spanish pinata and Spanish food. The club members dress in traditional costumes and speak Spanish throughout the entire program. Installed a few years ago was the foreign language lab. This has proved to be very useful to students in developing the proper speech fundamentals. Tapes and recordings are played while students repeat aloud into their speakers. Each pupil can hear what he is saying, and by repetition, improve their speech inflections and accent. Spanish teacher Susan Hall, helps develop the gutteral sound that is so im- portant to the young Spaniards-to-be. Not only do the students spend periods in the laboratory, but also in the informal classrooms. 21
