PRENDERGAST SHAW FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT O This year The Foreign Language DeparTmenT confinued under The able leadership of Dr. Small and again offered courses in Lafin, French, German. and Spanish. IT had been generally feIT ThaT The enrollmenT in The Spanish classes would decrease due To The end of The war. Quife To The conTrary, The number of sTudenTs has increased in The Spanish, and also in The German classes. Alfhough The enrollmenT in LaTin and French classes has noT shown marked increase, These courses are sTill very popular wiTh The sTudenTs. There are no new language courses offered This year. al- Though French is again available To Freshmen, enabling Those who wish To have four years of ThaT language while in high school. ConTinuing also This year is The Music InTegraTion pro- gram wiTh Mrs. Kidd. She meeTs wiTh various language classes abouT Twice a monTh and discusses wiTh Them The music of The counfry whose language The class is sTudying. This is a grand opporTuniTy for sTudenTs To geT acquainTed wiTh The music and some of The cusToms of The counTry in which They are infer- esfed. Even Those classes which do noi' enTer inTo The Music InTegraTion program have an opporTuniTy To learn abouT The music of These counTries, for many such classes learn and sing foreign songs in The classroom. Only one serious difficulTy has faced The Foreign Language DeparTmenT This year and Thaf is The problem of securing books. During The war, The publishers had a hard Time geTTing enough paper To prinf The TexTs. and of Those which have been prinTed, preference has been given To colleges and G.l.'s. DespiTe This seTback The deparTmenT has enjoyed a good year. Page
