This is ihe French magazine ihai comes every week—Miss Helen Dunlap and Mrs. Lois Althouse. And Lands Across The Seas. I study, too—Miss Margaret Dolezal. Are you interested in other people, other cultures, other ways of life? If so you are probably already familiar with the LN foreign language department. The language department now offers two years of German, Latin, and Spanish, and is offering three years of French for the first time this year. A new addition this year to the special equipment used in this field is the lan- guage lab in Room 310. Here the students work with drills, tapes, and recordings. In order to cope with life in a world which becomes smaller every year, as new inventions decrease the time it takes to go from one country to another, it is becom- ing increasingly important that we know more about people in other lands. Learning the culture of another country is as basic as learning its language. At Northeast students learn songs, poems, and customs of a country in addition to their study of the grammar and mechanics of the foreign language that they are studying. 2.1

To Society In America A passport to faraway places, a door- way to the dim past, and a key to a better understanding of the present is offered to each of the students taking social studies courses at Lincoln Northeast. Among those courses offered are world history, American history, and modern problems. New experi- ments in this field of teaching were tried this year when American history was one of those courses offered by the University of Nebraska over its educational TV channel.
