Russian Added as Language Course Taking a seat next to German, Latin, French, Spanish, Greek, and Derivatives, Russian became the seventh member of the Language De- partment tongue team. The course is taught by a native Russian, Mr. Adal- bert Sorenson. Students in their third year of French, German, Latin, or Spanish are encouraged to try for the Indiana Uni- versity Honors Program. Through this program, pupils have the opportunity to study their language in France, Germany, Rome, and Mexico. Last summer, Shortridge sent two students to Germany, two to France, and one to Rome through this program. In French and German, it is pos- sible to carry out five years of study. Upon completion of the advanced courses, many of the students took advanced placement tests and re- ceived college credit for their study. In addition to regular courses, An- drew Ramsey taught a non-credit Portugese class once a week after school.
