An under- standing of the living languages can facilitate our dealings with the foreign powers. Through the Language Department, we learn how to communicate in Spanish, French, and Latin, and learn to understand the people that speak these languages. The American Field Service program, which enables us to have foreign exchange students in the classroom with us, also gives us more of an under- standing of foreign people and their languages. The language department makes use of visual aids and a French and Spanish keyboard typewriter to make the languages live for our students.

Accuracy is stressed in the metal work shop by Mr. Gronert, pictured. Providing a firm foundation in the area of industrial and track areas is what the instructors in the Industrial Arts Department are trying to accomplish. Wood working, auto mechanics, mechanical drawing, and general metals are a sample of the courses offered under this program. Courses are designed to give students a broad background with some degree of depth and skill.
