dllilldgf For those who especially like French the course offers three years study in grammar and in the various types of French literature. A short history of France, short stories, a novel, dialogues, and plays are read and enjoyed. For the lovers of the land of Heine there is offered a two year course. Following a general grammar study, are stories of German life which are read with interest. Then for the student who dreams of castles in Spain there is a two year Spanish course where he may learn the customs, the geography, and literature of old Spain. Although the vocabularies are pesky and the grammar sometimes a necessary bore, there is much satisfaction in being able to speak even a phrase or two in a foreign tongue. But there is joy and delight when we become acquainted with a foreign language and are led into a new world of thought and feeling. 732 fo fnjby Miss RENA RONEY French In a Latin class . . .

'qi Miss ELLA HOCKENBERRY Latin O O 0 7otez?n Every language is a temple in which those who speak it are enshrined. E sometimes wonder whether our parents are annoyed or not to hear their sweet children practicing on them with, Ich weiss nicht, or Donnezfmoi le sucre, s'il vous plait, and especially when Yo no comprendo, Senorita' is given as a reply when mother suggests that the dishes need to be washed. However, we are only trying by this method to gain a little practice in fluent foreign speech. For the student who wishes to learn the fundamenf tals of all language study a two, three, and four year course in Latin is offered. After the routine grammar he may study wars with great Caesar, speech with Cicero, and follow the Trojan Aeneas amid strange adventures and thrilling experiences.
