As the World grows smaller year by year and even day by day, the study of foreign languages gains increasing importance. Communication and understanding between countries are needed for cooperation and global peace. A knowledge of the language and culture of other nations is necessary if we, as Americans, are to understand and respect other nations' feelings and actions. v Central's Language Department offers four years of Latin. The student learns about the once powerful Roman Empire and its contributions to our civilization. He also obtains a useful back- ground for studying romance languages. Four years of French are offered to Central- ites. Emphasis in the course is on being able to converse in the language. Spanish students learn a language which is predominantly used by our Latin American neigh- bors, besides the mother land of Spain. They have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the colorful culture of Spain. German, a course relatively new to Central, teaches students the basic vocabulary and how to speak and write in the language.
