Senior English students are giving Orson Welles competition hy recording Macbeth on wire.

Original Spanish conversations are a daily feature in the Spanish class. Besides studying grammar, both first and second year students get information about life in Latin America from their text books and through correspondence with Mexican students. After studying Caesar's tactics through trans- lations of his Gallic Wars, students of Latin I I relax a moment. Latin II includes a review of Latin vocabulary and a further study of Latin grammar. An interesting study is also made of mythology, Roman history, Cae- sar's Gallic Wars, and the relation of Latin to present day life. Page 9 9. X.
