From frustration as a student to succ Spanish Il. Mr. Walters went all out in etting a Spanish teacher. He gound a real expert, Mrs. Esther Grose. Mrs. Grose was born and raised in southern Cuba. Her southern accent fsimilar to our ownl on top of her Span- ish threw off many kids for awhile. Spanish I students plunged into a Spanish world confused and very tongue-tied. Their pronunciation was uided by teeth molds contributed by various students and results came out muy bien. Spanish ll students had a brief review of grammar and went on to learn of Spanish life and customs. Discussions were mostly serious, but an air of humor filtered in now and then. Knowing there was a formal and informal way to say Shut-up was not so hard - remembering how is what brought on the problems. SSS EIS EIU actor K . .. li, 1 E.

iHola! Spanish Club Greets Year with Enthusiasm The projects of Spanish Club were mainly centered around the culture and language of the Spanish. A party at Christmas was T planned at which both Mexi- can and American dishes were eaten. A picnic was held in the Park later which was enjoyed by all members. They looked into adopting a Latin American child, but ran into much red tape concern- ing adoption papers. The last two projects of the year included a party and a field trip to UNC-Ci to see a Spanish movie.

Here they observed C-reensboro's attempt to cap- ture the French celebration held in Louisiana each year. Parades and food, along with a good time made the day worthwhile. Another project was that of Pen Pals in France. Letters writ- ten in French were shared by everyone. As a final project, bulbs were planted in the school park.

Students Learn to Grow in a Different World The French department ex- perienced many new and dif- ferent challenges, but the stu- dents and the teacher adjusted quite well. The new books and tapes contained culture as well as the basics of the French lan- guage. Discussion and the speaking of French were pre- sent more than in previous times. Miss Marie Bondurant con- tinued to insist on good, gram- matically correct French, but the added amounts of discus- sion created more interest and things seemed to balance out nicely for French 1971-72.
