The Foreign Language de- partment includes Latin, Spanish, and French. The first two years of Spanish are devoted to developing a prac- tical lingual ability. An introduction to basic grammar is included in second year Spanish. Spanish III stresses a deep grammar study and reading of Spanish litera- ture. The two years of French deal with speaking, un- derstanding, and reading. The well-equipped language lab has proved to be a great asset in the learning of French and Spanish. Both years of Latin include gram- mar principles, vocabulary and derivatives, thus ac- quainting students with the civilization responsible for a large part of the nation's language and culture. 25
