Show Training Students For "After The War" Jobs Is Of Vital Importance """ "' "' H - ft 7 i "Go West, Young Man" was a slogan phrased by Horace Greely years ago. The modern slogan is: "Go Pan-American." in the high school we are initating a Spanish class this year, in which forty-five students are enrolled. Because our future lies in the Americas, and in order to deal with our Latin-American neighbors in a pleasant and mutually profitable way we must know and be able to speak their language. Excepting English, Spanish is more universallly spoken in the Americas than any other language. Just as every great war is followed follow-ed by some drastic changes in our social, economic labor(, and even religious standards and methods, so also will there unquestionably come new developments and opportunities oppor-tunities in our "new frontiers" not West, but "South of the Border." These opportunities will open new jobs: salemen, engineers, construction construc-tion contracts, plantation employees, employ-ees, etc. Throughout our Spanish study We anticipate a broader understanding under-standing of our neighbors in the south. Already each student has subscribed to "La Luz", an all- i Spanish newspaper containing 1 front-page news, sports, stories, i customs, songs and history. We ) have four new large Spanish-Eng- s lish dictionaries. Spanish songs will also be learned. If the interest in the language is maintained advance classes will likely be taught next year.
