These the regular classroom routine. ON A project for Russian class, Pixie Hosmer and Sherry Willis lines from a short story. By writing on the board the Russian as well as English translation, they gain practice in forming the strange characters that make Russian alphabet. In this age filled with international prob- lems and relations people must be able to communicate with the peoples of other countries in their native tongue. Equally es- sential is a basic knowledge of the culture,- economics, politics, and regional customs of these countries. Central's language depart- ment, which includes four years of Latin, French, and Spanish, and two years of Rus- sian, prepares Centralities to take an active part in such relations. Latin not only teaches the history of the Roman Empire, but also provides the background for the study of the romantic languages. Modern language stu- dents attempt to understand the current world situations and master the grammar and literature of today's most prominent lan- guages. The merger of classroom study with lab- oratory work provides Central students with the newest techniques of language studies. 27
