Foreign language finds new facet in French V Language lab, literature, customs, Mardi-Gras-each is an integral part of the language department. Added to the curriculum was French V, where empha- sis was placed on independent study. ln French l through IV classes students prepared dialogues and reports to fur- ther acquaint themselves with France and French-speaking people. Caesar, mythology and the epics were studied in all Latin classes, the department's dead language offering. Games of Latin baseball, flash card drills and language lab were instrumental to learning vocabulary and verb parts. Donning togas and tunics, Latin students hailed in the ldes of March with the annual Latin Banquet, where beginning students were slaves to the advanced students, Lots of lab work, special speakers, and research projects were characteristic of the Spanish classes. Stu- dents were encouraged to participate in activities relating to Spain, Mexico, and Latin America. Due to lack of interest, German, which was introduced to the curriculum last year, is in the process of being phased out.

Miss Smith increases students' shorthand ability through speed writing. This is a very important aspect of the course. Field trips augment Shorthand curriculum Advanced shorthand students under the tutelege of Miss Smith, profiled from field trips and talks by guest speakers. The class visited local business offices, as well as the county court house, where they viewed the new data processing equipment. Speakers included a telephone representative who posed real life office situations. Beginning shorthand stu- dents gained practical experience by filling out iob appli- cations forms and by learning the different positions for taking shorthand, as well as for taking dictation. New to the Business Machines class is a course in auto- mation, taught in the last six weeks of the semester se- quence. While the class did not have the actual machines, students worked with punched cards and a special book. Next year the Business Department is going to have a new typing room that will house 70 typewriters. Other considerations are new books for both Typing I and ll classes and a new course in salesmanship. Foreign Language-29
