LANGUAGE Nearly two hundred students wishing to become bilingual are enrolled in the foreign language department, which in- cludes Spanish I and II, taught by Miss Consuelo Fernandez, and Latin I and II, di- rected by Mrs. Virginia Collins. To acquaint young people with the language, history, and traditions of other nations is the primary aim of the four courses offered.
