BHS was multi-lingual Have you ever heard students walking down the hall con- versing in a different language? Many such people took a class in one of the four foreign languages taught. French cuisine was a new project in the Foreign Language Department this year. All the French students cooked a self- prepared dish. Classes studied French literature for the first time. They also made a film production of a variety of fairy tales in French II classes while French I classes produced the commercials. Spanish classes also joined the activities in the Foreign Language Department by writing plays in Spanish. German and Latin classes filled out the rest of the Foreign Language classes with a number of projects done this year. Teachers in the Foreign Language Department this year included Mrs. Debbie Gabbard, department chairman and French t eacher; Miss Becky Moore, Spanish; Mrs. Claretta Dutro, German; and Mr. John Leech, Latin. If you ever want to speak back to those foreign-talking students, just take a foreign language class. Are they speaking German in the halls? Waiting for German class to begin are Heidi Heiser, Car- ole Benedict, and Joni Langdon. IF P yj ■ ' ■■ J. ' - r- ' ' ' - , ' W ' ■4 ' - i§ ' s • ? ' r 70 Foreign Language Department
