French astronauts prepared for an oral examination as space commander Ramsland threw the switch. MISS DOROTHY RAMSLAND French I, II, ||| Napoleons Just a little more cream filling. No, no, now there's too much! So it went as French club students met in the Home Ec. kitchen and created their own French pastries, Napoleons, a cross between tarts and pie. As the gourmet cooks from both the Spanish and French club became more acquainted with foreign foods, a rendezvous was set and the clubs compared notes. Other club programs included a speaker, recently returned from France, the play Jeanne d'Arc at the Guthrie Theater, and a tour of the French galleries at the Walker Art Institute. When the weather turned warm, a cookout concluded the French club activities. 28 FRENCH CLUB Back Row -r.- Miss Ramsland, L. Jesswein, C. Baldwin, D. Erickson president; C. Liljequist, treasurer; K.

MRS. VIRGINIA OHMAN Spanish I, II, III Ne parlez pas d'anglais. Hable usted en espanola por favor! The necessity of speaking French or Spanish was continually accented by both Miss Ramsland and Mrs. Ohman. Mrs. Ohman's third year Spanish class even had to pay one penny for each English word spoken during the first half of the class hour. Those pennies mounted up and were put to good use at the end of the year for a Spanish party. Miss Ramsland's penny collecting, not so academic, but just as important, provided kleenex for French students with the sniffles. The language department emphasized learning to communicate ip foreign languages. New text books at all levels, used the audio-lingual approach, and the use of two electronic classrooms made it possible for students to practice listening and speaking. The core of the new philosophy was that speech patterns should be mastered orally before they are analyzed grammatically and that idioms and vocabulary of the spoken language should be learned before formal literary usage is presented. My week's allowance shot! Sue Van Allen contributed another penny to penalty pot held by classmate Gordy Engel. ToMa During school, Spanish courses stressed the speaking and mechanical aspects of the language. However, Spanish club strived to cover another phase-the social customs and traits of Spaniards. Correspondence with a Spanish pen-pal revealed the personal feelings of the younger generation, something that cannot be read in a text book. Club members tried their hand at creating a few Spanish dishes, comparing their concoctions with the American diet. Spanish bingo and other games were favorite pastimes. The Christmas Pinata party, a gala affair in Latin American countries, proved just as successful for WHS Spanish students. At the end of the year, the club compiled a newspaper written in Spanish.
