Judith Wolfenden points out to her students places of interest on a map of Spain. The many students who are ei. rolling in one or more of the four foreign languages taught at Patrick Henry are causing the Language Department to continu- ally enlarge its curriculum. Offering four years of Latin, the Latin teachers strive to make each student aware of the impor- tance of the Latin language today, as a basis for further study in other foreign languages, and as a path for greater understanding of the ancient Italian and Roman literature. Four years of Russian are now offered as a result of the growing demand for this language, Rus- sian students, besides learning the language, are taught to under- stand the Russian government and way of life. The French and Spanish teach- ers develop in the students an awareness of the language and an ability to comprehend and speak it. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT GROWS RAPIDLY Miss Wood and Miss Wolfenden examine a book about Spain. Miss Edith Shanks leads her sixth period Latin class in translation of their textbook. 25
