Studying language can be fun and satisfying. Language students also find that their studies carry over to a better understanding of English grammar and vocabulary. Sophomore Tracy Schartner said, I take Spanish because it is good to take a foreign language before you go to college. Language students participate in a wide variety of activities monthly through the language clubs. Among other things, Spanish Club meets regu- larly for dinner at Mexican restaurants, Latin Club plans a festive Ides of March party, and French Club members enjoy a French play. s 3 I7
