Hitler visits language assemblies Marv - -' rv- 1 'S' - qm' Organization. determination, and coop- eration proved to b successful elements in the planning of International Week. Pre- sented by the foreign language depart- ment, January 27-31, the celebration gave students the opportunity to enlighten themselves on the cultural aspects of their European neighbors. By flooding the halls with descriptive signs, posters, decorative display cases, and coordinating costumes, foregin lan- guage students conducted open classrooms in foreign languages. International Week participants could be seen wearing name fill' '3' r N1 tags bearing their foreign name, and occa- sionally giving foreign names to non-par- ticipants on request. At the end of the week the celebration was highlighted by the sale of foreign deli- cacies, which were made by the partici- pants. Many students found that foods they had once considered relatively A- merican were actually exotic foreign spe- cialties.
