YAhhh . . . EXCHANGE STUDENTS Muy Buena The purpose of fostering ' international understanding was best exhibited by the six foreign exchange students, for they brought the warm spirit of their countries to Weston High.

Would be Latinists often found it difficult to memorize declensions and conjugations and to translate the verbal gymnastics of Cicero and not difficult to enjoy Virgil’s poetry or understand “Winnie file Pooh.” Students often marveled that the basis of many languages was buried under the onus of Latin grammar. Once the Russian stu¬ dent had mastered the idiosyncracies of the Russian alpha¬ bet and the pronunciation of its letters, he was prepared to wrestle with “Bela.” Mrs. Czarnowski, permanent sub¬ stitute. Mrs. Fernald, Latin Teacher.

ENGLISH ENGLISH STAFF Mr. Robert Walker, Mr. Robert Clawson, Mr. Charles Hatch, Mr. Paul Nichols. The aim of the English Department this year as m the past has been to make cul¬ tured pearls from grains of sand. This noble and often frustrated aim was accom¬ plished not only by classroom hysteria but also by the extracurricular clubs and activities within the department. Such activities as the Folio, which was our first non-profit organization, and the Smoke Signal, most noted for editorial prowess, stimulated the students’ interest and, it seemed, their apathy.
