Barstow offers four years of study in French, Spanish and Latin. Lan- guage students are encouraged to develop fluency in speaking, reading, and writing foreign languages. Memorization exer- cises, class discussions, and use of the lan' guage laboratory enable students to de- velop spontaneity in speaking.
