Ancient Languages Are For Modern Teens ■m ■ . 1 •■ 33 ., »■ I S a ' % ,. l . - — The foreign language department has undergone several promising revisions this year. The most significant of these revisions is the expansion of the Spanish course to three years. This expansion has paralleled the growth of our school and community. A student may find a characteristic in a course in the foreign language department which would in- duce him to enroll in that course. A prominent characteristic of each subject is listed with that sub- ject below. For the romantic -minded language stu- dent there are two courses offered, French I and II. While the more historically inclined student is offered Latin I, II, III, and IV. The more adven- turous student may enroll in either Spanish I, II, or III. Conjugations and declensions are necessary fundamentals in learning Latin. 17

English Is The Key To Effective Communication Outside reading is sometimes done during classroom time. English is a vital tool of communication in the modern world in which we live. Success may largely depend upon our understanding and knowledge of the English language. EHS realizes that English has never been more important than it is at the present; therefore, the English department enlists the services of a well- trained teachers ' program of literature and gram- mar, thus, increasing the students ' abilities to use the English language properly and effectively. The variety of literature read comprehensively and widely by college-bound pupils covers a wide range. Speeches, essays, and book reports are as- signed to give students the opportunity to make use of their knowledge. The great demand for pro- ficiency causes Elmhurst to excel in English and lite rature. Speed and accuracy are im- portant in this student ' s speech before the class. 18
