The goal of the language department this year has been to give the Schreiber student a broad back- ground in the foreign language of his choice. An extra-curricular course in Russian was added to the present programs in French, Spanish, German, and Latin to provide a broad spectrum of subject materi- al. With the Audio-Lingual Material series as a guide, the French, Spanish, and German courses provided students with a comprehensive study of the phonetic and grammatical aspects of the respective languages. Latin students gained a general understanding of the structure of the language, as well as a firm founda- tion in Roman historv and mythology. All members of the language department strove to aid their students in an academic appreciation of language, as well as an appreciation of the culture which spawned a particular tongue. Elain Hammond, M.A.T.S. Cheerful and energetic, Miss Hammond is an enthusiastic water sports fan, as well as an active participant in the fields of music and dance. G. William Hettler, M.A. Mr. Hettler, who once thought of being an M.D., enjoys listen- ing to various types of music in his spare time. Department Chairman; French Club Ad- visor. Mr. Booth listens appreciatively to a reading from the autobio- graphy of Juan Valdez. 28
