s - LAN UAGE N. ,ff MISS LOIS HANSON Languages at El Camino offer a choice of French, German, Latin, or Spanish. At the present time, only two year courses are available, but the department is planning for advanced courses in the near future. Language students may participate in various extracurricular activities. A few of these are the Roman Banquet, sponsored an- nually by the Latin Club, the Spanish newspaper, El Eco, and the interlingual club. All of these activities tend to give the student a well-rounded knowledge of their language major. Q MR. 1HoMAs Leomsm MR. EDWARD SMITH MISS JEAN WHITMAN MR. JAMES GARRISON Department Head
