Wandering through the halls, a visitor to Andrean may catch bits and snatches of Como esta Usted?,” Comment allez-vous?” or Auf Wiedersehen” all pronounced with a distinctive Northern Indiana accent. The chance to learn a second language is available through German, French, and Spanish classes. Along with grammar and reading and composition skills, students learn the culture and heritage of the people who live in these countries. An opportunity to study classical language is provided in three levels of Latin. Here, students read the works of ancient writers and also acquire an appreciation of the classical heritage of the Western world. TOP: Latin III, with only four students, guarantees personalized attention, especially when students translate extemporaneously. CENTER: Kevin Walsh takes a second swing at the pinata during the Spanish II Christmas celebration, a fun way to learn Spanish customs. BOTTOM: Workbooks may not be exciting, but for Miss Maszka’s French I class they are a necessary part of each unit. S. Marguerite Dankulich, SS.C.M. Spanish I, II Academics — 25
