German grau (gray) duck Foreign Languages Benefit Students In Other Areas Guten Tag! Wie gehts ' This is a comm jn German greeting. German, Latin, French, and Spanish students started from the very begin- ning. Like a Carro (car) climbing a hill classes worked their way up. Head of the foreign lan- guage department. Mrs. Francis Kapka when 1, asked how foreign languages benefit tW stu- dent said. The student gains valuable insight into another culture and developes a tolerance ot other lite styles. The student therefore learns to value and appreciate individual differences rather than condemn them. The choice ot the language to study should depend on a student ' s career plans, but any language is a definite ca- reer asset. Class members were assigned daily work, and tests were part t)ral, part written. A taperecorder was used in the oral section. The foreign language program provided many op- portunities for students to visit the country from which their language comes. Participants were given special rates and en|oyed sightseeing and live-in arrangements with foreign families. Other activities included cultural studies and a foreign foods dinner in late May with close to 300 participants. French student Leslie Wilson said, French has helped me with my English classes. I ' d like to go to France some day. It ' s fun to talk with someone who knows the lan- guage. I want to continue with French. Lan- guage teachers were Mrs. Kapka (German), Miss Strehlow (French), Miss Peterson, Mrs Andersen (Spanish), and Mrs. McMullen (Lat- in).
