They very capably provide a variety of food for the school lunch rooms. Miss Dorothy Lee is the manager of this group. German, French, Spanish, and Latin are the foreign languages offered at Edison. These subjects are under the instruction of Miss Edna Sorenson, German: Mrs. Anne Kellner, Spanish and French, and Miss Alice lohnson, Latin. Miss lohnson is also chairman of the foreign language department. These teachers are advis- ers to the clubs of the language they teach. Miss Sorenson and Miss lohnson teach English classes in addition to foreign languages. From the study of a foreign language, the students become more familiar with the customs and habits of other countries. ln addition to learning Spanish and doing class assignments, students in the Span' ish class are given the opportunity to re cord their voices in that language. Songs and skits may be recorded in this same manner. Songs may be also learned by following the printed words while listen- ing to recordings of the songs. Spanish Class: IU. Dt1Gictm, S. Pearson, M.
