New Lab Augments Language Courses A new $11,000 language laboratory was added this year to Edina's Language department. Located on the first floor, the lab seats thirty students in separate booths complete with tape recorders and controls by which a student can either work independently or communicate with the teacher. The department has also added two portable labs which are set up in classrooms. The five languages taught at Edina are Latin, German, Spanish, French, and Russian. Latin courses include the study of grammar, Roman his- tory, and Latin literoture each year with Italian and Greek offered in fourth and fifth year classes. The German program emphasizes grammar and structure at first, and, later, reading and conversational skills. Four years of Spanish encompass grammar and pronunciation, Spanish history and customs, and literature. French, offered for four years, also attempts to develop a sound grammatical basis before proceeding to literature. Russian, a three-year course, emphasizes pronunciation and grammar before the student attempts serious reading. cQue cs esfo, close? Pictures and diagrams acquaint students with everyday Spanish phrases. 16 Mr. Scanlon dictates to his class, living and shrouded, after their defeat at the hands of the Germans.
