Those students interested in the wide fields of radio work now open can take North's special course in Radio Workshop. During the year, students have an opportunity of writing scripts and producing short dramatizations on the local networks. Foreign languages play a necessary role as travel becomes broader in this modern world. North offers courses in Norse, Spanish, German, and Latin in which not only basic grammar, but the fine literature of these countries is taught.
