And all her practicing has paid off. Michelle recently received outstanding honors at the district preoTlege auditions of the South Carolina Music Teachers Association. She was also selected to perform at the Honors Recital of the association's state convention Nov. 12 at Newberry College.

Only a few students receive an honor like this, explained Michelle's music teacher, Dr. Jane Bolen. For the district audition Michelle had to play three pieces of music in different style periods and know technical requirements including scales and chords. For the state convention she will play Intervention No. 8 by Bach.

Michelle has been playing the piano since she was six years old and she has been taking lessons from Dr. Bolen for almost five years. The daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Renato Basco, Michelle has competed in the district competition for four years.

Caesar ByTOMHOGE AP Wine and Food Writer Our forebears sprinkled salt on fresh greens and called it salad. Today most versions of this dish are a good deal more complicated. Over the years, cooks have added a wide variety of ingredients including fruits, vegetables, herbs, meat, cheese and fish, cooked or raw. But simple lettuce salad is still popular. Cookbooks offer everything from a mixture of lettuce, salt and lemon to a chef's salad, 111- Hair on When you don't have time to set your hair, but you want a style that will last, try this trick.

One of the tastiest creations, in my opinion, is that combination of croutons, anchovy bits and greens known as Caesar Salad. Many chefs and restaurant owners have claimed to be the originators of this salad, and perhaps some contributed to its perfection over the years. But it Is generally agreed that the salad was created in Tijuana, Mexico, in the 1920s at a restaurant called Caesar's.

Here's a recipe for the salad. 1 garlic clove 4 cup olive oil 2 cups croutons made from stale bread 12 romaine leaves Salt and pepper to taste 1 egg yolk Juice of 1 lemon ed with bits of ham, tongue, cheese, turkey, anchovies and hard-boiled eggs. Depending on their ingredients, salads range from appetizer to main course. But in different regions, cooks serve them at different points in the meal. On the West Coast, the simpler salads lead off the meal, but in many other parts of the country, they are often served with or after the main course.

Whether they be a main course, a shimmering jellied hold you don't want to "blow" the style. Keep the heat on for about five minutes to set the style in place.

November plans made Mansour said.

"I'm quite optimistic about what is going to happen in the future," Mansour said. "It bodes well that fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders are studying Latin in Philadelphia, and Chicago has six foreign language academies for elementary students." He added that foreign language enrollment in high schools and colleges has risen steadily for three or four years, while more schools are hiring foreign language teachers. Such classes are common at the high school level, but relatively few elementary schools are known to offer foreign language programs, Nancy Rhodes of the Washington-based Center for Applied Linguists said in a telephone interview. She said only a few districts have programs which try to make elementary school students fluent in a language, by the immersion method, where no English is used in any classroom, or FLES (for Foreign Language in the Elementary School), where conversational language is stressed in a more limited classroom setting. Femdale, one of only three Michigan public school systems known to offer foreign languages in the elementary grades, adopted a modified FLES program with two goals: improving students' English skills and expanding their cultural horizons.

But for students, the program is just plain fun. "I talk to my brother in German," said 7-year-old Dwayne Porter, a first-grader. "He's in the third grade and doesn't take it. When ne yells at me, I talk right back in German and he doesn't understand me. That makes him mad.

I like it."

Stock Ooff 3:00 pm pm i Everything in Couple makes plans By DAVID FOX Associated Press Writer FERNDALE, Mich. (AP) -The first-grade classroom looks like any other with its knee-high desks, dusty chalkboards and bright wall posters. But to all but a few of the nation's schools, the conversation inside is totally foreign.

"Guten tag, kinder," Lynn Haire greets students at Fern-dale's Warren G. Harding Elementary School. "Guten tag, Frau Haire," the 22 youngsters gathered around her respond in unison. For the next 20 minutes, she leads class discussion, songs and games all in German. Mrs.

Haire is among seven teachers in the suburban Detroit district who visit elementary schools, conducting daily classes in German, Spanish and French for kindergarten through third-grade students. The language varies according to the building, but the method is constant. "We always speak the language in front of the students," Mrs. Haire said during a recent visit to the school. "In fact, they're a little shocked when they finally hear you speak English' 'We're trying to present this in much the same way children learn a language at home by being absorbed in it," added French teacher Annick Brown.

"At first, they tend to giggle a lot and find it amusing. But after about the third day, they understand what it's about and start answering." "Our belief is that, if you start young enough, everyone can learn," explained Glen Bracken-bury, deputy superintendent of instruction in the district. The program is mandatory for kindergarten through second-graders and through third grade at classroom buildings where it began as a I960 experiment. "We've added one grade per year," Brackenbury said. "Like anything, though, it's not all roses.

We're having some growing pains and problems. For one, we don't have all our long-range programs in place. "What happens when the students reach the upper grades? How do we approach the program then? Frankly, we don't know yet."
