Languages... Towers of Tongues ... Amelia De Lauro Spanish Foreign Languages Department Chairman Mary Beilina Italian French Twirlers Gladys Filippone French Future Teachers of America Richard Lehmann Spanish Lettermen’s Club Forty-five minutes out of every day may be spent in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, or ancient Rome. This is accomplished by enrolling in one of the many courses offered by the Language department. Staffed by twelve teachers, headed by Mrs. A. DeLauro, the department strives to teach students not only the language of the country, but also to acquaint students with the customs, history, geography, and literature of the country. In addition to text and literature books, films, language labs, and outside speakers are employed. During the first two years of study in a language, students are given a basic knowledge of the tongue. Grammar is the main area of concentration during the third year, while famous literature of the language is studied during the fourth year. 22
