Language Lab For Perfecting Pronunciation Students at York High have the oppor- tunity to study and receive advanced in- struction in any of the four languages of- fered: Latin, French, German, and Span- ish. While the basic two-year course includes forms and structures most frequently used in the language, a student may become more proficient in conversation and usage in a third or fourth level class. Through the use of dialogues, skits, filmstrips, tapes, and other aids, students can identify them- selves with the culture of the language be- ing studied and can learn to use the lan- guage in a practical manner. The language laboratory helps to reinforce patterns of speech and aids in perfecting pronuncia- tion and intonation. The International Lan- guage Club composed of students enrolled in French, German, Spanish, or Latin offers an opportunity to understand the culture of the countries. M rs. Holben returns a Latin paper to Mike Brown. Me, sponsor the Horticulture Society? exclaimed Mr. Peacock. 25
