They studied pronunciation, grammar, and foreign Fliterature, but they also learned to appreciate the world and its people. German and Spanish offered three year programs, and Latin and French provided four year programs. Each lan- guage was the key to many adventures in reading and living, traveling, and studying.

Tape recorders, displays, flash cards, movies, and songs mingled with textbooks and tests in the language classes. Language students were students of language, history, government, culture, and geography. 3 its as . if A few French Il students demonstrate how planting cabbage is done in France.
