Sound strange? Well, this was a true-to-life situation that took place. The face belonged to Susan Ferrero, Tokay business teacher. Miss Ferrero decided to enroll in ltalian I because she wanted to re-learn the language she spoke as a child.

Now, Miss Ferrero Studying verb tenses for her ltalian I class is Miss Susan Ferrero, Business teacher. wants to re-learn what was forgotten. As a student, Miss Ferrero was treated like the rest of the students. He treated me like one of the kids. I worked hard in the class and it paid off, said Miss Ferrero. Mr. Young agreed, 'She did excellent, she worked hard and it showed. In relation to the other students, Miss Fer- rero was doing well and she added, I think l'm one of the best students in the class. I really enjoy it. Like the majority of the stu- dents at Tokay, Miss Ferrero was ocassionally tardy to class. She's only late when she had teacher duties and I excused her the same as I did a student who came into class with a pass, said Mr. Young. As for the future usage of her Italian, she plans to return to Europe and communicate with the European people more than she did on her first visit. As for continuing with Italian, Miss Ferrero planned to re-enroll in Mr. Young's Italian II class if it fits into her teacher schedule. Mr. Young hopes to have Italian classes all the way to Italian IV if the students continue with the language. by Stacia Haworth 209
