Languages play an important part in the curriculum at Patrick Henry. Knowledge of a language helps to prepare one for the future and to promote a better under- standing of the peoples of foreign countries, Offering two years of Russian, three years of French, four years of Spanish, a n d four years of Latin, the language department has a busy schedule. The modern foreign language class becomes a lab integrating the oral, aural and written aspects of the particular language being studied in preparation for practi- cal use in future business or travel. Through its two-fold linguistic and cultural objectives, the Latin De- partment as well as the French, Spanish, and Russian Departments, seeks to develop an awareness of its language, to achieve o finer appreciation and understanding of English, Russian and the romance languages, and to provide a broad- er concept of our heritage from the past. A world history class studies the art, customs, literature, geography, and language of Russia. Bi
