Parlez-vous fran(ais? £ I labia Ud. el espaiiol? Dicisne Latinam? Sprechen Sie Dentsch? These sayings, written above in French, Spanish, Latin, and German respectively, arc familiar to the many foreign language students at DCHS. The main objective of the Foreign Language Department, headed by Miss Blanche Howland, is to give the students an appreciation and better understanding of the language.
