Fo reignL nguages Cure For International Communication Breakdown The Foreign Language Department has a steadily declining en- rollment. This is partially due tn the popular belief that Latin is a dead language. This has forced several courses, especially Latin courses, to be dropped from the curriculum. The Spanish 9-10 class is also non- e.xistent this year because of the lack of student enrollment. One asset to this department has been a more challenging Spanish text tried out by the first year Spanish classes. This trial has been suc- cessful so the whole series will be bought and used. Regarding teaching methods, more use has been made of visual aids especially overhead projectors. Clase, estes papeles son niuy interesantes. (Mr. Lamb) Mi.
