ERNEST UNGER German Audio-Visual Aids Soccer, Track Middle Atlantic States Evaluation Chairman MR. VINCENT J. VILLAREALE French Et quelle est votre htstoire? asks Miss G. Filippone of a student who must give his side of the story in French class. Language is one of the main sources of communication and the basis for all human relationships. Studying a language other than one ' s native tongue gives the student an opportunity to learn about different cultures. In a language course, the student studies history, literature, geography, and customs, rather than just learning how to speak this chosen language. Avenues of knowledge are explored through the use of visual aids and guest speakers, as well as the written word. To involve the student completely, skits are performed and appropriate holi¬ days are celebrated. Students begin their years of language study by learning the basics, followed by an intensive study of grammar. Finally, they are prepared to study the finest literature of the language, which is offered during all three years. Advanced courses are organized by Mrs. A. DeLauro, department chairman, for those who wish to pursue a more in-depth study of the language, whether it is French, Italian, German, Spanish, or Latin. MRS.
