Foreign Language Latin students converse; French features new films. Understanding spoken and written language and being able to converse with a native speaker are the goals set by the Foreign Languages De- partment. Spanish, French, and German, concentrate on listening, speaking, reading, and writing; while Latin, a classical language, is based on learning about the litera- ture and general culture of ancient Rome. This year, however, Mr. Ward Beckley, Latin teacher, ex- perimented by using more conver- sation in the classroom. Other changes in the foreign lang- uage department include the use of a new text for second year French students, along with new films fea- turing different characters than have been used in previous years. The textbook and films are centered on the home and every day life of a French family. Native speaker and Spanish teacher Mr. Caesar de la Guardia confers with Foreign Language Department Head Mr. Paul Lemke. These students are on their way to a Spanish restaurant as members of an advanced Span- ish class taught by Mr. Caesar de la Gardia. They enjoyed the foreign food.
