LANGUAGE ARTS With oral and written speech being the most important means of communi- cation, the language arts department is of utmost importance to any school. Chula Vista High offered English, iour- nalism, dramatics, speech, Spanish, French, and Latin in this field to further the verbal knowledge of its students. The foreign language program was aided by the addition of Miss Esteva to the faculty and the conducting of second year classes entirely in Spanish. Another faculty addition was Miss Lee who took over Mr. Smith's duties as dramatics instructor. English was vitalized this year by of- fering a college preparatory class to sophomores and introducing a new lab- oratory reading program to increase reading skills. Mrs. Burbank, another MRS.

New methods of teaching and equip- ment have helped this department to bring significant change to an area that can easily become a dull, static process. In an atmosphere of gay serapes and colorful native handicraft, students learn the language of our neighbors to the south.
