Foreign Customs Understanding the customs of a foreign land is best enhanced by studying the language of that country. At Roosevelt many students took a foreign language during each of their high school years. The foreign language department offered Spanish, taught by Nancy Glenn and Benita Kirschbaum and new part-time teacher Carmen Lundberg. French was also offered, taught by Ken Raymond and new part-time teacher James Murphy. German, taught by Marilyn Lading, was again available. All languages except Spanish were offered through fifth year. Spanish offered a sixth year. Trips abroad were again available to language students. Spanish class planned a trip to Madrid. For the French it was Normandy, while German students planned a trip to southern Germany. The trips lasted fifteen days, with students staying four days with a family in the foreign country. Enrollment in foreign language was up, possibly due to an announcement by the University of Minnesota of stiffer requirements in liberal arts.
