T he Cultural Touch Language study involves cultural approach French, German, Latin, Spanish — do any of these sound interesting to you! ' ' The foreign language department is full of activity. Some of the activities include International Night, Foreign Language Week, Fall Frolic, and Spring Fling. The fun never seems to end. And you get to learn a new language at the same time. A foreign language class does not have to be just another hour class. The clubs and honor societies reinforce what is learned in the classrooms by partic- ipating in local and state contests. The importance of studying a foreign language is sometimes overlooked. Se- nior Tammy Mutzig comments, Americans are one of the most self- centered populations. We do not seem to realize that there are other people and other countries out in the ' real world. ' By studying foreign languages we learn oth- er cultures and by learning other cultures, we can better understand other people and countries. The homework is not necessarily fun, but essential to understanding other countries, said one foreign language student. One advantage to taking a for- eign language class is that you can talk all you want, provided you talk in this specific language. Senior Tammy Mutzig plans to use her foreign language skills by joining the Foreign Service. And if I can prove my profiency in the language, 1 can start out at a pretty high status and a high salar ' . The foreign language department has a variety of things to get involved in, so what are you waiting for. Come join a foreign language class and m.ake an as- sertive effort to make a difference today. Students try to organize themselves before taking a test. Students welcome foreign officials with great respect. 18
