With the newly installed language lab, Mrs. Jeanette Hady is able to teach her students to speak French more fluently and to give them more personal attention. The language lab is also used by the Spanish teachers. Have you ever wanted to journey to foreign lands or to un¬ derstand cultures other than our own? Most students would find this difficult to accomplish during their school days. The teachers of our three foreign languages strive to transport their pupils to either ancient Rome, sunny France or colorful Spain. The study of Latin, like that of Spanish and French, is offered in the seventh grade. Four years of the classical language are taught. Two years can prove a boost to one’s vocabulary and understanding of English grammar. Through the dactylic hexa¬ meter of Vergil and fiery orations of Cicero, the advanced Latin students become familiar with two of the world’s greatest pieces of Roman literature. Tlie newlv-installed language laboratory gives the students of French and Spanish a distinct advantage. Each booth, which is built for one person, is equipped with a tape recorder, a set of earphones and a microphone. Through using these aids a student can hear and imitate the French and Spanish pronuncia¬ tions. This modern development enables the teacher to give more corrective aid to the individual student.
