Most students are familiar with our Language Depart- ment which oflers courses in French, German, Spanish, and Latin, In addition to teaching grammar, this depart- ment aims to give the student an understanding of the customs, people, and music of the country where the language is or was spoken. Many times the teacher will take a few minutes out to teach the class a song - a pleas- ing break in the day. The teachers of the Language Depart- ment are a group BHS students truly like and appreciate. Bertha Przygocki and Celia Hichwa post a notice of the next Spanish Club meeting in Spanish class.
