LANGUAGE ARTS. .MEA Jim Lockhard learns the principles of poise and proiection while deliver- ing a speech in his public speaking class. Communication is one ofthe most impor- tant aspects of our lives, yet it is also some- thing most frequently taken for granted. The telephone, radio, and television would be impossible to use without the spoken and written word. Without advanced lan- guage studies, both foreign and native, communication would be rather primitive by our standard, and without language teachers, these advanced studies would not be possible. Excellence in the oral and written ex- pression of all Arroyans is the purpose and concern of the Language Arts department. The faculty of the Language Arts Area is dedicated to bringing to life literature and languages in order that the students of Arroyo may more fully appreciate and take part in the colorful world in which we live. The teachers of the Language Arts depart- ment share in the enthusiasm and interest all Arroyans exhibit in their classes of lan- guage and literature. Among the many courses offered in our Language Arts Area are: freshman.Eng- lish, sophomore English, directed reading, American literature, senior literature and composition, and publications, the class in charge of the yearbook. In our foreign languages, the area offers three years of either French, German, or Spanish. l Brian Swimm and Debbie Landingham offer the answers to questions asked in their German class.
