Foreign languages, clubs offer variety, participation Learning to speak a foreign lan- guage can be very fulfilling and useful. There are three different languages offered at Lincoln; French, Spanish, and Latin. Tra- dition, customs and way of life are included in these course outlines. These are very fundamental lan- guages in our society today. Latin must be learned in order to become a doctor or a lawyer. Spanish is widely used in many parts of America. French is the international language and is widely used in large parts of Canada. The foreign language clubs par- ticipated in numerous activities this year. Some of those included the annual Language Day at Cen- tral College in Pella, attended by French and Spanish club members. Christmas parties were observed with gifts and exotic foods exchanged. The Ides of March, the anniversary of the stabbing of Caesar, was observed by the Latin club. 4.
