Mrs. Wadsworth Mr. DelDuca Mrs. Dwyer Department Head Foreign Language Department Mr. Eaton 14 Mrs. Finn Mrs. Romay (missing) Language is the most fundamental means of cultural expression within any civilization. The Foreign Lan- guage Department, through its three-year courses in Latin, French, and Spanish, seeks to impart to the student not only a mastery of the language itself, but also a basic understanding of the various cultures of these peoples. During the first year, the student masters the funda- mental linguistic structure of the language, with some reading and an introduction to the spoken language. More advanced grammatical structures are learned in the second year, along with considerable reading and oral work. The third year includes advanced work in composition, both oral and written, and the reading of several literary works. Foreign language students have a distinct advantage in having the use of the excellent language laboratory. Mr. Twomey
