German, offered in previous years, was not on the program this year. Spanish III is a fairly new course here. The students learn to read newspapers and magazines of Spanish-speaking coun- tries and go into more advanced lessons. Latin II, a continuation of Latin I, involves studies of Caesar and other Roman writing and goes on with grammar. French II concerns learning to speak and read more advanced French and also studies French history and culture.
