Florence Sheppard Department Head Amadeo U. Ippolito F QREIG AN GU GE The first foreign languages onnered in the Chattle High School of 1899 were Greek, Latin, and German. French was introduced into the department in 1903. It was not until many years later that the study of Spanish was offered. Today, Long Branch High School oflqers five languages. Russian was added last year to previously established courses of Latin, Ger- man, French and Spanish. Under the direction of Miss Florence Sheppard, the language department has many new methods of teaching. One of these is the modern language laboratory, which was installed in 1960. This en- ables the students to speak and listen to the language as they study its granunatic principles, vocabulary, and literature. Listen and Learn Louis L. Toscano 26
