Languages Focus On People Learning a language is not just the memorizing and conjugating it some- times seems to be. It is learning the way people think and live. Students become acquainted with customs, foods, wines, art and architecture of various regions. With the use of re- cords, magazines, novels, and plays, students take on the role of the people that they study. Through these activi- ties, they come to a greater apprecia- tion and understanding of the culture of foreign communities. Serapes, sombreros, and toros bring the at- mosphere of sunny Mexico to these first year Spanish students. Shown with their teacher, Mrs. Bieberick, are Richard Hester, Cathy Lauhoff, and Clara Trauner. Rouge? Vert? Bleu? Mr. Wyeth drills colors with his first level French class. Mrs. Bieberick points out an historical landmark in Colombia for Mike Noel and Mike Hall. Students in all Spanish classes made maps of Spain, and Central and South America.
