LANGUAGES PRGVE INTERESTING AND USEFUL Mrs. Margaret Beran ff i f 5..Y.r-rl . Xia, X 4 s 2 .. ri SSSS 5? i if SE ' ' - .. 211- .T . ' . .f 5. Mrs. Dorothea Bruschke Michael Dills Harold Dunn The language department used its laboratory facilities to emphasize a conversational approach to lan- guages. The labs are electronic classrooms, which were used by those students studying French, German, and Spanish. Students were equipped with headphones to listen to taped drills and used attached microphones to respond to questions from the tape. With a control panel, the instructor was able to listen and give help to each individual. Students who studied Latin found it to be very useful. lt facilitated the study of modern languages and pro- vided a useful background for the study of English. Languages are an important part of the school curriculum. Students able to speak a foreign language can promote friendship in the world and feel at ease in another country. Modern advancements improve language study. Miss Benita Kane 14 Miss Mary Laird James Rutherford
