LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT. In our shrinking world, narrowed by the inauguration of jet passenger service and advanced methods of communication, the need for language study becomes imperative. In the expectation of visiting a foreign country ourselves some day, we have been especially interested in films, slides and recordings which teach us to know our neighbors and to speak their language more fluently. We are proud that our high school offers us Latin and German as well as four full years of both French and Spanish. ability with others. Winifred Jensen M.A. Department Head Dorothy H.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT. Expressing our thoughts clearly is a major factor in the complex society of today. In our English work, courses in public speaking and journalism provide us with practice in colorful self-expression. The study of literature leads us to appreciate the precise use of words. We are encouraged to broaden our knowledge by outside reading and by group discussions of the books we have read. As we add to our cultural background, we learn to value the richness and beauty of the English language.
