MERLE NELSON ECKARD ROSEANN GEFEROFF WILLIAM THOMPSON HOUSE Encouraging Communication and Understanding our fellow man is one of the many problems facing us today, without a basic knowledge of another's attitudes and even more important his lan- guage, the world becomes a constant Turmoil of mis- understanding and incompatibility. It is the hope at Northern High School that the courses offered in Eng- lish and foreign languages have helped to do their part in better understanding those with whom we live. The English Department is quickly becoming a tighter curriculum at Northern. Through a better understanding of our own language and by being able to communi- cate with each other, it is believed that the understand- ing of foreign peoples and powers will be improved. English is a requirement of each student throughout every school year, and four years of major English study is required for graduation. The Foreign Language Department is constantly be- coming broader and more selective. Through the study of a foreign language, customs and traits of those peo- ple whose language is so different from our own are macle familiar to us. Preliminary Spanish is now available to the seventh and eighth grade students, this serves as a basis for a better foundation for the three years of moior Spanish that are now offered. Latin il, Ili, Spanish il, ll, llli, and French CI, Ill give Northern High students a larger scope ofthe world in which we live. Through a comprehension of the fundamentals of English grammar and an appreciation of literature, students at Northern prepare to enioy the cultural aspects of their environment.
