Learning to Communicate The Foreign Language Club is sponsored by Mrs. Loida Fletcher and Mrs. Mary Young. To start the year off, the club had bake sales for financial support of the future events. As their income increased, the members prepared a big din¬ ner of Spanish and Latin food. In December, they caroled to foreign¬ ers in Spanish and Latin. They also participated in a Christmas program for the school. Though most of the Foreign Language Club’s events concern the languages of Spanish and Lat¬ in, other languages were explored. They invited guest speakers to their meetings and held a Foreign Language Day at Piedmont Bible College in the spring. The club consists of both Spanish and Lat- While decorating the room for a meeting, in students, making it quite diversified. Tammy Combs adjusts a poster.

There are a set number of mem¬ bers from each school in the soci¬ ety and our selections must come from the advanced Latin classes — Latin II, III, and IV. There are no induction requirements except for showing excellence in the study of the language. This year’s officers were Dawn Perry, Laura Wooten, Carolyn Binkley, Cindy Holland, and Tere¬ sa Marsh.

Beth Tuttle practices her signs as Sammy Wood looks on. Sign Language has become more popular than ever before this year because one of our senior boys, Sammy Wood, is deaf. The class worked hard so they could learn to communicate with Sammy and were busy interpreting for him. So the hand gestures are not fight¬ ing, but a language among our stu¬ dent body. The entire student body has been encouraged to learn our school Alma Mater since our games are also attended by deaf adults. Woodland Christian School is the only private school in our area that has sign language as a sub¬ ject and also involvement with the deaf community. Two of our past graduates had deaf parents and we appreciate their support to our school as they shared in our activi¬ ties through the years. By instructing in sign language, Nancy Ash¬ ley shared her talent with others. Sign Language 67
