ojiftQK Language SPEAKS OUT The Foreign Language De- partment had three lan- guages to choose from: Spanish, French, or German. Each teacher had his own method of teaching. The For- eign language classes contin- ued to be some of the students ' favorites. Aside from learning the language itself, .students had the benefit of familiarizing themselves with the cultures that went along with the lan- guage. Thus, they had a better understanding of the languge they were learning. by Patty Mejia ▲ Mrs. Pate points out something related to the French culture, the Eifel Tower.
