Foreign Languages ,, ,A Virgil Poulter, Spanish teacher, demonstrates our new foreign language laboratory. The foreign language department at Edison high school has made great advances in the application of the most effective tech- niques in language learning. The six-year program enables a student to begin the study of Spanish or French as early as the seventh grade and to continue in the same language to his senior year. The department is also making full use of a modern new electronic laboratory in which the student has the privacy of an individual booth with microphone, headphones, and listening- recording facilities. The lab is one of the better facilitated sections in the school and one in which Edison students may take pride. t X N. N ,,V, p Q.. me Q isre W lilo fl t ii M l t fyilf Leif' f,, - W r 'ia ,..
