We can now look back on the many days that we shoved our way up the stairs to our language classes. Paly offered us many choices of a foreign language—Latin, Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Chinese. The latter two were Paly's unique programs. Almost ten years ago Russian was instituted at Paly, taking it one of the first schools on the west coast to develop this instruction. Four years ago the Car- I ncgie Foundation sponsored the teaching of Man- darin Chinese, now under the able guidance of Mrs. Laura Sung, This year many of us participated in the Audio- Lingual language programs. Students studying a for- eign language by this method learned the accent and speech of a country along with its culture, way of life, and traditions. The students participating in this program were more able to speak fluently the language of their choice through their exposure to the spoken word. In the traditional language classes we gained further insight into the customs and attitudes of other countries through film-strips, magazines, and an extensive reading program.
