Language Language lab’ facilitates learning new 'tongues’ Parlez-vous fruncais? Sprechen Sie Dattsch? Hubla usted apanol? Do you speak a foreign language? If you do, one of the above modern foreign languages (French, German, or Span- ish) should be familar. Or perhaps you speak Russian or Latin. Ability to speak a foreign language fluently is what made two new teachers welcome additions to the foreign language department this year: Mrs. Virginia Weidemann was the Latin mentor, and Miss Lotte Echelle was the German teacher. Mrs. Weidemann, Miss Echelle and the rest of the language department had the advantage this year of using new audio equipment in the language lab. A short-wave radio that receives foreign programs was one of the new additions. Another feature added was a series of tape recordings fea- turing native speakers. Perhaps the new laboratory equipment will encourage even more students to elect a foreign language next year; afterall, what other class has equipment that speaks to you? ’ Selecting the nght button to push n not always an easy decision. Miss Virginia Wald inger bos made her choice and maybe the tape will start. LEFT: Kathy Garah, trying to do two things at once, crams for a test and listens to a tape.

opportunity to express ideas, emotions Students dabble in paint, clay, some find true selves An intruder tiptoes into the room, flips on the light, and looks around. All sorts of odd sights assail him. Quickly, he glances around for the treasure, but his eyes are greeted with pencils, paint, metals, and wood. Where is the treasure? As he looks more closely, he finds that it is in the cup- board, on the wall, and even hanging from the ceiling. He is in an artroom, and the treasures are the paintings, jewelry, and other projects made by the students of the six elective art classes. In these classes, a student gets time to discover if he will become another Leonardo da Vinci, a happy home hobbyist, or if he might be a better chemist. Here, a student can sample numerous forms of art, helping him, if not to choose a vocation, at least to enjoy and appre- ciate the work of others. The mil treasure the intruder sought was not in the art room, but in his hands and in his mind. Staff and Academic Life 29
