-1F f 'Q, Z ' THREE BRUWIIEIJ LANGUAGE 32 , COURSES INDIIIATE THAT M. H.S. xii, LINGUISTS BRAVE ELUCIDATIVE GYMNASTIIIS 70, I Marion high school students may study three languages in addition ff to their own: Latin, Spanish, and French. German was formerly otlered, but the course was dropped during the XVorld NVar and never resumed. A competent staff of instructors present these languages in an understandable and in- teresting way, giving not only gram- mar and vocabulary, but also an in- sight into the country, its customs and government. Three years of Latin and Spanish, and two years of French offer a wide variety of choice and enable the student to get a good foundation for further study of any of these.
