LANGUAGES The Language Department of Fort Myers Senior High School consists of French, Spanish and Latin. The mastering of these languages comes quite easily with the assistance of the modern language laboratory. The student is able to sit in a private booth while a tape is being played. Then the student repeats until he gets pronunciation and comprehension perfected. This is an invaluable tool in the learning of any language. To have a well-rounded education, one must in- clude in his studies a foreign language. French and Spanish are Romance Languages, while Latin is the basis for both. No one is really considered educated until he has studied a language other than his own. MRS FERN ' STRANGE Home: Newport.
