Shirley Baker Glendon Bergfalk WORLD RELATIONS, as they are today, make it even more important to know more languages than just one's own. The knowledge of a second language opens up the way to learning about and understanding a foreign country. The following five languages were offered this year: French, Span- ish, Latin, German, and Russian. Rus- sian was offered for the first time this year. An increase of 923 students to 1,135 students also brought an addition of four teachers. Latin could boast having the most classes in the district. The Spanish program con- sisted of a continuation of the new programmed learning that was started at Saguaro last year. Mr. Richard Brown and his students ponder a difficult Latin translation. Of all of the Scottsdale schools, Saguaro's Latin program has administered to the largest number of classes yet. 160 - FOREIGN LANGUAGE Yolaida Briley Richard Brown Carmel Butterfly Sara Hargrove Shirley Baker - Spanish, sponsors Spanish Club, B.A. Glendon Bergfalk - Russian, English, sponsors Junior Class, B.A. Yolaida Briley - Spanish, sponsors Span- ish Club, B.A. Richard Brown - Latin, sponsors Latin Club, B.A., M.A. Carmel Butterfly - French, spon- sors French Club, American Field Service, B.A. Ed., M.A. Sara Hargrove - German, sponsors German Club, B.A. Ed. lVluy bien, clase, says lVlrs.
