as-i fy. Sophomore Debbie Joerger seems delighted with her headset for French class . . . Or is it, Honest teach', l really was listening! ortb Students loser Communication is the key to understanding be- tween different nations. ln today's world, where this country must be more and more conscious of other nations, the need to communicate is especially impor- tant. North Farmington helps to eliminate this linguistic barrier by offering its students four impor- tant foriegn languages. In each of the languages taught, French, German, Latin, and Spanish, the cultural and historical back- grounds are stressed, as well as the grammar of the language itself. Tape recordings, films, and the use of foreign magazines are among the activities of the to oreign ultmfes language classes. To help students in their comprehension of the languages, certain games are applied as educational aids. For example, the French students enioy Bango , a form of the American game Bingo , in which pictures are substituted for numbers. The holiday spirit is part of the cultural aspect with which students become familiar. Christmas carols are heard in four different languages during December, while various holidays throughout the year are discussed. lVlrs. Miriam Hall Nlrs. Barbara Hill lVlrs. Helen Morse lVlrs.
