Language arts gains teacher, new chairman One new teacher was added to the for- eign languages department as well as a new department chairman, commented Mr, Arthur G laze. Mr. Bob Hicks was added to the staff to teach Latm and Mr. Glaze was appointed to replace Ms. Dorothy Burns, who resigned from the position as department head. Students involved in the department participated in a variety of activities, Mr. Glaze said. For example, several Spanish Honor Society members went to Mexico City in March and French students sponsored the state-wide Symposium at Churchill. In addition, all the students in the depart- ment joined to present a show for the PTA, he explained. Mr. Glaze also remarked that enroll- ment in foreign languages increased. More people realize the importance of a foreign language in a shrinking world, he stressed. 158

For the first time in the school ' s his- tory, the French department hosted a state-wide symposium in March, com- mented Ms. Muriel McDonald, chairman. Sixty high schools from around the state were invited for the festivities which ranged from academics to music to ath- letics. The purpose of the symposium was to promote French language and culture, she added. Students received many benefits from French, commented Ms. McDonald. The study of the language helped increase their vocabulary and improve their gram- mar and French credits helped them with college entrance requirements. Some enrolled in French because of its quality and importance in politics, diplomacy, culture and literature, she added. French students were eligible for mem- bership in the French Club and French Honor Society. To be admitted to the Honor Society, students had to maintain an 89 average in French and a 79 aver- age overall, she explained. The French Club and Honor Society co-sponsored many events such as crepe sales and basketball games against the other lan- guage departments in the school.
