MR. GINOCCHI, always friendly and helpful, discusses a point of grammar with Paul Bott. Correct Accents Never before has the world seemed so small and the need for under- standing so great. There are many ways to show interest in another's culture, but being willing to learn his language is one of the best. Foreign countries become realities as the barriers of speech and cus- toms are broken. The language department, headed by Mrs. Helen Clear, ofTers two years of Latin and four years of French and Spanish. Our thirty- three station language lab is used daily by the French and Spanish stu- dents. With this modern aid, pupils master conversational patterns thus supplementing the written knowl- edge usually learned in the class- room. Latin, an aid to English vo- cabulary, is interestingly taught by Mr. Joseph Ginocchi, popular assistant football coach. The language clubs and their field trips provide additional op- portunities for language learning. This year outstanding Spanish students were honored with mem- bership in the Spanish National Honor Society. ff' E HISPANIC ARTISTRY is evident in realia. Here seniors Tom Smith, Diana Pflugh, and Kathy Daniels examine articles from Mexico and Colombia. l LATIN STUDENTS drill sentence structure under the tutelage of Mr. fKovach.

RT and USIC Develop Our Cultural Interests Our Music Department is headed by Mr. Leo Curto. Each year more students study music and its back- ground. General music is requisite in junior high. Chorus may be elect- ed by both junior and senior high students. Instrumental music is taught by Mr. Peter Spadro, who also directs the band. Art at Western is spectacular. As usual a succession of varied exhibits livened our halls all year. Art stu- dents won awards in painting, draw- ing, design, sculpture, and crafts. Mr. Donald Nelson is department chairman. PATTI EICHLER sang at the Variety Show accompanied by Chris Stall. MR. CURTO runs through the scale once while his seventh grade general music class prepares to sing along. ART ELECTIVES decorated the school with gay wreaths and paintings at Christmas. In fact, Mr. Nelson's students' colorful projects brighten the building throughout the year. 37
