Vacationing away from their home in Mexico City, Adileh and Anita Sol La Lande found it a pleasant change to talk their kind of turkey with Spanish teacher Raymond Flores and Robin Healy. Four years of regular and advanced Spanish are offered to those students inter- ested and proficient in Spanish as a second tongue. TWO million Americans travel abroad each year! Foreign language increases these opportunities for foreign study and meaningful travel. It permits people of different countries to understand and communicate with one another. In fact, foreign languages are so important today, a large percentage of universities prefer at least two years of language back- ground. Some of tiie objectives of the language department are, states department head Mrs. Mary Tate, ... to introduce stu- dents to foreign cultures through lan- guage, customs, art and music; to develop reading, writing and speaking skills in French, German and Spanish; and to un- derstand the classics through reading Latin. Each year, outstanding foreign lan- guage students are recognized at a special assembly with awards from the French government and the department. The Pan American Club honors the outstanding Spanish-speaking student from each Phoenix high school at a tea, during which the Mexican Consul presents awards. Latin Club has won the Classical League Award for three consecutive years as the outstanding club in the state. Foreign language teachers, too, have been busy. Mrs. Mary Smith, acting with co-author Dr. Charles M. Malone, had an article, Needed — A Survival Kit for FLES printed in Hispania, March, 1964.
