The tape recorder is in frequent use in Spanish class as is shown by Miss Frye ' s second-year class. Students show that translation of Latin stories is enjoyable. Spanish and Latin Baffled Students En espanol, por favor, ” was a phrase frequently heard by students taking Spanish I, II, and III this year. After a week or less in either of these classes, every student knew that Spanish was the language to be spoken not English. Tape recorders, daily discussions, complicated drills, lively fiestas and vivid filmstrips contributed variety and interest to the Spanish curriculum at Worthy. The Latin program of 1965-66 was high¬ lighted by the students ' active partici¬ pation in class. Numerous plays, skits, and class cantatas helped develop each individual ' s knowledge of Latin. Students welcomed the modern and re¬ freshing approach to this ancient lan¬ guage, which is the basis of the English language. UPPER: Discussion of the great bullfighters is a highlight of the life in Spanish classes. LOWER: Miss DeVault explains a sentence to her first- year Latin class. 13

Worthy. English is important in every walk of life and so it is stressed continually. Senior ' s who passed the entire schedule of English found themselves prepared for greater heights because so many branches of the English courses were explored throughout their high school years. In Freshman English the founda¬ tion was laid, in Sophomore and Junior English the walls were constructed while Senior English topped it all off. Although it took five long years of hard studying, every graduating Senior felt proud to have completed this full curri¬ culum . 12

Audrey Hardin, B.A. Emory and Henry College Library LEFT: Rodney Hogston and Randall Allison have learned that the easiest way to find a book is by use of the card catalog. Worthy Maintained a Modern Library Miss Hardin is assisted in her work by two Library Club members, Sue McCready and Connie McCready. A good library is an essential part of any school. For where else may one find information on the sleeping habits of a hermit crab, how to construct a Laser, books of fiction to read, and his favorite newspaper or magazine. The library offers these services and many more. The many non-fictional books were catalogued in the card catalogue for easy reference. Several sets of encyclopedias were also available for student use. The Reader ' s Guide offered an index of the many back issues of magazines stored by the li¬ brary. In addition to these, a file of pamphlets was on hand for student reference. The library also boasted a file of film-strips for the use of the various depart¬ ments . Aided by student librari¬ ans, Miss Hardin was always ready to help anyone in his or her library work. Yes, this year the library played a useful and nec¬ essary part in the education of the students at R. B. Worthy High School. 14
