Necessary For Lyfe heenguage Learning how to commu- nicate intellectually with people is one of the most important things a school can offer. New Prairie has a variety of language courses. Everyone has to take four years of English, but there are also foreign languages. Spanish is one of the most popular electives, followed by French. Mr. Shroyer, one of our new teachers at New Prairie, feels that “English has become the language of the world. To communicate effectively it is important that we understand our lan- guage on anumber of differ- ent levels.” Students pile at the door waiting anxiously for the bell to ring. Mr. Groendyke gets ready to start another day of teaching. Sophomores decide English is not important and talk during class. Junior English can be fun when you have seniors in the class. 4 But The Good 7 1S ja G cmes
