Spanish LA rowing linguistic needs with 72 l d classical works With the greater participation of the United States in world affairs has come a greater awareness of language needs. Most every- one has viewed meetings between heads of state where the language barrier has been almost insurmountable. When one compares the difficulty of procedure at these meetings with the greater facility of procedure which prevails at meetings where differences in language pose as no problem, the importance of speaking more than just one's own language becomes clear. The Foreign Language Department at Long Branch High oifers every student an excellent opportunity to achieve a reasonable degree of fluency in a foreign language. Four years of intensive study in Latin, French, and Spanish are now offered with German being introduced next year. In classes such devices as film strips, records, and tape recorders are used to acquaint the student with the pho- netics of the language. What's more, a language laboratory is ex- pected to be installed next year. The history of the language and the culture of the country in which the language is spoken are also studied. In French and Spanish classes only the foreign language is spoken, While the more advanced Latin classes study the greatest Latin poets and authors Sylvia Colby, B.A. French, Latin William Harvey B.A., M.A. Spanish joseph Sharkey Mft B.A., M.A. Latin French students listen attentively to dictation
