ESTUDIO, COGNOSCO,” REPLY LANGUAGE STUDENTS Courses offered in the field of foreign languages are limited to Spanish and Latin. Students may enroll in these elective courses for two consecutive years; thus, the foreign language program at FCHS can be a four- year study for any individual of the school. First-year students master vocabulary, conjugations, and basic sentence structures, while second-year students translate Roman mythology or Spanish history. From experiences gained through these studies, stu- dents develop a better understanding of the language, customs, and people of ancient Rome and modern Mexico. Spanish II students depict a scene from a Mexican bull ring as a complement to their geographical and cus- toms study. MRS. THELMA T. HOUCHINS B.
