As a melting pot of various literatures and cultures, the language department offers from Chinese to Latin, including Spanish, German, Russian, and French. The study of foreign languages provides a hu- manistic approach to nationalities and provides the basis for understanding on an international scale. The Department seeks to widen its program with a variety of field trips and excursions. This year Latin classes had speakers from Stanford, and the Russian classes spent a day seeing Dr. Zhivago' and a Russian art exhibit and Iunching at the Russian Tea House. French classes visited the French Theatre as Spanish students attended a Spanish play at Stanford in the spring. All of these classes ioined with the Chinese and German students in the annual Foreign Language Field Day. The new buildings at Paly will include a Cultural Center for students. This is a Language Department Student Center where people may converse informally in all languages. Connected to the Re- source Center, these new facilities will provide for more communication with English and Social Studies Departments. There will be a new large language lab where students may proceed at indiv- idual rates and an area for foreign plays and speakers. Foreign Language teachers are. Mrs. White, Mr. Snyder, Mr. McCord, Mrs. Sung, Miss Schmit, Mrs. Lilker, Mr. Nor! ton, Mrs. Lodge. Notpictured: Dr. Cate, Mrs. Drake, Mr. Ochoa, Mr. Presto.

Basic industrial arts training is not only useful to the scientist and engineer but to the average man at home.
