FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND ENGLISH English I, II, III, and IV all have one common goal: to provide a better and more basic un- derstanding of the English language and its literature. Through programmed education, periodic oral reports, speeches, and discus- sions, and the writing of formal and informal themes and creative poems and short stories, English provides afirm foundation for further study in grammar, literature and composition. Better understanding of a nation's culture by means of direct communication, that is, listen- ing c o mp r e h e n s i on and spoken language, breaks barriers between nations and peoples andthus paves the way for mutual respect and friendship. Latin and French students gain this basic understanding. TOP PHOTO: Latin students make plans for a program to be given during one of their monthly Latin Club meetings.
