Foreign Languages Enlighten Students “We are proud to see more and more students taking a foreign language. With this increase taking place, we can possibly have all the advanced classes here instead of students transferring to other schools,” commented Miss Virginia Waldinger, Chairperson of the language department at Edsel Ford High School. When a student takes a foreign language at Edsel Ford, he not only learns about the language, but also about the country’s history and culture. An example of this learning experience was the trip to Spain which took place recently. “This way, students experience a country’s customs and traditions first hand,” stated Mrs. Jan Vandenberg. To help a student understand language better, each class sponsors its own language club. As a member, one goes to meetings, attends social activities, initiations and club field trips. Mr. Edward Skendzel commented on the Spanish Club. “Through the years, El Rancho Grande has become an institution at Edsel Ford. Everyone knows what El Rancho Grande means and is.” This page UPPER LEFT- The lovely “Frau” Vandenburg teaching a music class when she first arrived at Edsel Ford.
