Chaminadeis Modern Language Department attempts to lessen this difficulty by offering to Chaminade Men three of the most important foreign languages: Spanish, French, and German. This year brought with it three new additions to the Department: a new teacher, Mr. John Snopek, a new course, Russian, and a new library of foreign language records for use throughout the Department. Although a large portion of the courses is devoted to formal study in preparation for Regents Examinations, all language students were urged to take an active interest in the people and countries whose language they attempted to master. To promote this interest the Spanish Department selected a new text in which the reading exercises emphasized the history and culture of Spain and Latin America. Bro. George Siegwartis German students took readings from Heinrich's Student Princev, while the French students translated selections from La Paruren by Guy de Maupassant to test their comprehension of the language. Newest, and perhaps most talked about, foreign language was Russian, taught by Mr. Iohn Snopek to those students willing to remain for an after school class. Through repetition and conversation a general knowledge of a language that is fast becoming popular was achieved. Another member of the Department not pictured here is Father James Hickey, S.M., of the French Department. During the after school Russian class Mr. john Snopek answers a question posed by Bob Sawyer. 28
