Foreign Languages and English Departments Offer Old With New This year the foreign language department is offering a multitude of new courses. Everything is being offered from learning how to run a business in France to comparing the cultures of different countries. The new courses provide a welcome change in the previ- ous curriculum and bring new ideas to an otherwise traditional department. Writing compositions, term themes, and memorizing Friends, Romans, Countrymen is still very much a part of the English department at Paschal. Along with literature, teachers still stress the importance of gram- mar in their classes. Even though most of the material covered in English is standard, teachers are continu- ally updating their methods. Top Right: Mrs. Taylor serenades her class with a medley of German folksongs.
