With the great opportunity of speaking Spanish in nearby islands, it is the most popular language at Lauderdale. Offering four years of instruction, some students are capable of speaking Spanish as fluently as English. “Sil vous pait.” “Please,” is a word greatly con- centrated on in French class. A beautiful language to speak and hear, French is also widely used in Florida today. Our pupils are taught to correspond in this language as well as learn the grammar, making them feel as if they were in gay Paree. Culture is stressed, as in most any other language, as well as trying to understand the different countries today. 25
