FATHER KENNETH BAKER Foreign Language SR. FRANCISCA, R. S. M. MR. WILLIAM VOGEL Classical Language The principal goal of the Classical Language Department is to develop the ability to read and comprehend Latin and Greek. In reaching this goal, several secondary goals will be achieved: an insight into the nature and struc- ture of language in general, an alertness t0 the possibilities and value of increasing English vocabulary by reference to Latin and Greek words, a respect for logical thinking, an appreciation of the contribution that Roman and Greek Civilization has made to our Whole Western culture, and the absorbtion of human ideals and values through contact with the great works of Classical literature. Growth in speaking, reading, and writing a second language is essentially growth in the marvelous art of communications between persons. This growth is the primary purpose of the foreign language department at Badin. French, Spanish, and Italian have been stud- ied in an effort to learn the language patterns of these people so as to penetrate to the spirit and culture of these nations. It is hoped that life interests and careers may develop from these courses. Above all, that each student may develop into a wiser and richer person because of foreign-language study, is the over-all goal of the department. MRS. CHARLES BOSSERT
