Students Learn Invaluable Skills in Special Reading This course assists students in developing the essen- tial skill of interpreting written materials. With the im- portance of reading today’s newspapers and maga- zines in order to be aware of world situations — as well as the many reading requirements of the high school curriculum, this class is indeed a most valuable one.

Extensive classroom instruction along with hours of experience under the wheel will hopefully prepare a student so that he may get his license. Yet, this is only an elementary step in the process of becoming a capable driver. With classroom behind us, we look forward to ‘‘under the wheel.” Nancy W. Penick B.S., A.S.T.C. Bobby F.

Students Gain Greater Appreciation of French and Spanish Cultures Spanish students not only absorb the grammar, vocabu- lary, and accent of this Latin language, but they are also exposed to the culture and beauty of Spain and Mexico. Spanish music, as well as films and publications add realism to the study of this foreign language. An inter- esting diversion was the visit of a couple, natives of Cuba, who told of life in an actual Spanish-speaking country. Anita B. Eppley B.M., U.N.C. Greensboro Cuban exiles come to speak to Mrs. Eppley’s Spanish class. When did you become interested in Spanish, Charlie Brown? French students are often overwhelmed at the complexi- ty of learning the proper accent, of memorizing di- alogues as they listen to A-LM tapes, and of attempting to conjugate impossible verbs. But at least once this year both levels of French students took a break from studying as they visited the impressive Biltmore House in Asheville as a cultural excursion. “Will we ever be able to conju- gate all these verbs?’’ wonder Ray Bowkley and Reeves Snyder as they work on assignment for Miss Stiles. Beth Lawrence concentrates on French recording. Cynthia L. Stiles M.A., A.S.T.C. 24
