 foreign languages Emphasize Continuity Under the guidance of Mr. Fredric Moore, the FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPART- MENT offers beginning, intermediate, and advanced courses in French. Spanish. Ger- man, and Latin. A new program schedules students with the same language teacher for four years; such a continuity of instruction enables students to achieve a broader com- prehension of his chosen language. The classroom itself provides many op- portunities to perfect linguistic abilities through the use of tapes, portable recorders, and records. A further aid to learning is the language laboratory, where students learn pronunciation by listening to tapes recorded by French. German, and Spanish-speaking people. GENEVIEVE B.

This is accomplished through the introduction of supplementary paper-back b x ks and independent study projects. Skills-improvement, college pre- paratory. and honors classes enable students to pursue courses of study suited to varying objectives and academic capabilities. Special elective courses in debate, journalism, and speech develop related skills in specific in- terest areas. Directed by Mrs. Margarete Cant rail, the department is constantly improving and broadening the program of learning to better prepare young people for success in college and the professions.
