This year some 450 of' Woodrow Wilson's 1400 students are studying one of the foreign languages—Spanish, l'rench, and Latin—that arc offered in the program of studies. Tour teachers teach Spanish, the most popular foreign language course. There are two instructors in Latin, and one teacher of French. Of the total enrollment, many hundreds more will take, or have already taken, two or more years of one of these languages, although foreign language is not a requirement for graduation nor for entrance in most colleges and universities. Counselors recommend it to pupils, however, as a solid academic course for college preparation. Woodrow Wilson Language teachers are acclaimed as unusually skillful in their fields. In their classes, they employ drawings, recorders, records, films, slides, group work, dramatization, and research on the various cultures of the users of the languages. Speech teacher, Helen F.ckleman, and her classes are responsible for many fine assemblies during the year. They ilso learn about and receive experience in cooperative investigation. oral speaking, pantomime and film forums. Hie scripts read at football halftime are written by the speech classes. Mrs. lidwina Brown also teaches speech. Buddy Sherrod uses a chart in Miss Scaly's Latin class to show Helen Adams how the modern words in English have their roots in Latin.
