A little confused, Carol Lavitt asks him to repeat while Carol Frair, Larry Levitt and Bill Fitz- patrick attempt to decipher his words. Language Necessary To College Entrance An important phase of college preparation at East high school is the language program. Because most colleges require at least one year of a foreign language, these courses must be planned to give the student a sound back- ground in the language of his choice. Four languages are offered at East - Ger- man, Latin, Spanish and French. All are four year courses, three years of which may be taken at East. Most students, however, com- plete only one or two years of one language, and then sometimes begin a second. The first four semesters of each language are composed mainly of basic grammar and vocabulary. The fifth through the eighth se- mesters utilize the grammar and vocabulary in studying the literature of the language. During the year the language classes often take excursions to places having to do with their particular language or country. This year Mr. Robert McConnel's Spanish 4 class went to a Mexican restaurant for a sample of authentic Mexican food. Classroom movies about the customs and geography of the vari- ous countries were a standard part of the cur- riculum. The fact that language is a college re- quirement causes many students to take it solely for the credit. A far more important result of language experience is the under- standing that comes from learning the lan- guage and customs of another people. LYLE W. HOLLEY Latin KAT H RYN LAC E Spanish JOHN B.
