Our lan- guage laboratory, used by all foreign lan- guage students, provides an opportunity for the students to develop their speaking ability. In the near future a recording room will be established in which the teachers will be able to prepare tapes for labora- tory use. Emphasis is also placed on reading and translating of the languages. This year, for the first time, there is a fourth year French class. This course will again be offered next year. Language students also participate in linguistic ability contests. In the spring of each year, the French, German, and Spanish national contests are held; Latin students compete in the Baird Memorial Sight Translation Contest. Language banquets are held at the end of each year. At this time, the students can put some of their newly acquired skills to use.
