Foreign Languages Promotes Understanding The FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPART- MENT, under the direction of Mr. Fredric Moore, offers a basic five year program in Spanish, French, and German, and a two year curriculum in Latin. This year, the department initiated a new second semester general lan- guage course for students who do not meet with linguistic success during the first semester. This program offered to students from all language classes, reintroduces and studies the origins of all the modern languages. Foreign language students use many supple- mentary textbooks, movies, filmstrips, and magazines. The language lab offers individual facilities to help students broaden their vocab- ularies and improve pronunciation and com- prehension through listening to tape record- ings. ...
