Language lovers learn lilting linguistics Dwenger students learn to communicate in either of four different languages: French, German, Spanish or Latin. Under the supervision of Mrs. Simmons, the language department strives toward enabling every student to acquire a new language. Through skits, conversations and a study of French culture and customs, French stu- dents display how they have mastered the language of France. Oral reports, conversa- tions, puppet shows and a Spanish meal highlight a student year while taking Span- ish.

The an- nual Latin Banquet becomes the most im- portant event of the year to every Latin student. In studying German, students also may learn to communicate in German. A.
