Communication is the goal of the language department, but if we know only the languages of people, and nothing of the people themselves, then communication is impossible. We were fortunate in that our language teachers realized this fact, and structured their courses to teach not only the language, but also the culture of their respective areas, which include French, Spanish, and Latin. Mr. Leon Cohen heads this versatile language department, and is assisted in teaching five levels of French language and culture by Ms. Sherrerd. Ms. Fernandez and Ms. Storch share the responsibility of teaching Spanish, while Mr. Eisenhart concentrates on five levels of Latin. The language department, because of its versatility in language and culture, as well as background and age, helps in bridging the gap between past and present, and foreign and domestic culture and language.

Among the newcomers were Bible Lit., Chaucer, and Mass Media.

Social Studies As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. Billings Led by department head Mr. William Toufectis, the Social Studies department combined their diverse talents and abilities to provide students with a varied curriculum of Social Studies electives. Courses such as Great Issues, Black Studies, and S.S. Survey became popular with seniors and Tommy Thompson.
