Say, but How You Say It To understand another culture, a community of people out- side of our own experience, is the goal of the Jesuit foreign language department. Students learn through languages the dis- cipline of ordered thought and the diversity of expression. Latin has been a stolid member of the foreign language depart- ment at Jesuit High. Even its advocates term the course a de- manding exercise in logic. The first two years of Latin are de- voted lto mechanics. Rather than take Cicerols speeches in their junior year, juniors this year joined fourth year Latin scholars in appraising Vergil's Aenid. Knowledge of basic lan- guage formations gained from Latin studies may readily be applied to either of Jesuit High's modern languages, French or Spanish. The French department, headed by Fr. Denis Dennehy, lays claim to about 130 uetudiantsl' studying both the French language and culture. Within these two areas are two types of learning: reading skills and pronunciation. French classes share a language lab of 27 booths which were built last summer with the Spanish classes. Jesuit's two-year Spanish program brings the culture of Span- ish-speaking peoples, particularly those of the Latin American countries, to approximately 100 students. Mr. Vincent Teresi, the sole Spanish instructor, was assisted for a short period in February by Carlos Munoz, a student teacher from Costa Rica. Costa Rican exchange student Franco Donato gave students an opportunity to implement their Spanish studies. Jesuit High hopes to give students a working knowledge of at least one foreign language as part of a liberal education. r 5 f . i l 1 1 , t J JA 5 FR.
