German American Field Service Committee Each day for forty-five minutes, a student is given the opportunity to travel to another country, via the study of a foreign language. Comprehension, speaking, writing, and reading are stressed. Posters and bulletin boards help to create the atmosphere of the various countries. Five languages are offered to the students of Paramus High School. Four years of French, Spanish, Latin, and German are available, as well as three years of Italian, all taught by competent instructors. Students now have an opportunity to hear themselves speak the foreign language they are studying, and hear it spoken properly, in the language laboratory. This is a recent addition to the school which has met with over¬ whelming success, giving much needed aid and practice. Pupils selecting this curriculum find themselves learn¬ ing rapidly to communicate in their new language. In¬ creasing emphasis is being placed upon the beauty and culture of the languages themselves. Besides teaching the languages, the instructors include information about the people, customs, history, and geography of the countries. Field trips to foreign movies, plays, restaurants, and art exhibits are also a part of the growing program. Another interesting outgrowth is the corresponding with pen pals in some foreign countries. This has proved to be an extremely popular and rewarding project. Catherine Zazzali Que barbaridad! Spanish Future Teachers of America Joseph Stefaniak You WILL be quiet! Latin Gymnastics Club 18

Reading In the sophomore year a detailed study of the individual through the various phases of personality development is achieved by writing an analysis of one ' s background, friends, and future plans. For the junior year, great emphasis is placed on the social implications in American literature, which gives the student a wider understanding of others. As a climax to the program, the seniors for¬ mulate their philosophy of life through a con¬ centrated study of the choice in values. Other courses available in the English curric¬ ulum are Speech Fundamentals and Speech Arts, two year courses which help to develop appre¬ ciation of drama and the theater for all three levels.
