The foreign language department at RHS gave students a first-hand ex- posure to cultural backgrounds and a head start in the linguistics of foreign languages. Whether the student selected Deutsch, Francois or basic Latin as his second language, he was preparing himself for personal involvement and ability to live in a world of under- standing.

In Latin, club and class activities merged to make students as active as their Roman predecessors in creating Latin life as it was lived in ancient times. These experiences enabled them to win 9 out of 18 possible top spots in the Missouri Junior Classical League contests. Mythology and Word Study, of- fered for the first time, gave students an intensive background in the origin of words. 24
