University of Wisconsin University of Indiana Bowling Green State Geogrophy 7 Spanish I ond II Spanish Club odviser Susie Bleeks uses her knowledge of Spanish to help boost school spirit. The idea that Latin is a dead language has certainly been proved incorrect by the Latin department of Defi- ance High School. More students ore taking Latin than ever before. This is due to the interest created by its teacher and the informative subject matter. Latin pro- vides foundation for all modern languages. Spanish at Defiance High School includes not only the study of grammar but also offers the key to a greater understanding and appreciation of our Spanish-American neighbors. In the tv o years of Span- ish offered, we also learn conjugation of verbs and vo- cabulary, the tools needed for speaking the language.
