Foreign Languages: Path to World Unity Espanol? Deutsch? Latina? WHS students are given the opportunity to study any of these languages. The students study grammar and culture, read novels, and plays, and even learn songs. The Spanish students will remember their fiesta parties and songs for years to come and the Latin victims will hold Julius Caesar close to their hearts forevermore. The language department sponsors such activities as the Pan American Student Forum and Junior Classical League. Miss Carolyn Blythe, a new gradu- ate from Baylor, joined this department to teach Latin this year. TOP: Patiently trying to get the art of speaking Spanish across to students is Miss Zurfluh.

Journalism, Speech Teach Students Self-Expression Journalism requiresaspecial dedication...especially to the quest for truth. This year four journalism classes and an industrious DAISY CHAIN staff have been putting a lot of that special devotion into truthfully representing student life at Waco High. But journalism is not all work, work, work. One of the sweetest rewards of being a journalism student in 1969-70 was the opportunity to visit the campuses of SNIU, the University of Texas, and Baylor on their respective journalism days. Neither has the speech department been sleeping, especially since vivacious lVlrs. Lawrence Canning has joined the staff. Under her direction, students applied their speech skills to some drama-in-the-park this spring. Keeping a dash of the old in with the new, speech students co-hosted the 36th annual Baylor- Waco speech tournament in February. Earlier in the year, the speech department entertained the school and the community with a praise-deserving per- formance of Black Comedy . sxggg Nliss. Rebecca Canning, lVl. E. lVlr.
