Modern Curriculum Enriches Language Program The Foreign Language Department, separated from the Language Arts Department this year, has doubled its classes and faculty members in the past decade. German has been added to the curriculum of Latin. French, and Spanish classes. Levels of languages, once limited to two or three, have expanded to make four lev- els available. Not only have more courses been made available, but now there are more classrooms and more students per class. All Spanish classes are in the Curtis building where a language laboratory is used. All languages have accented on the modern approach to teaching. This has led to the audiolingual method of teaching which called for the installation of the language laboratory in I960. The countries' cultures as well as their languages arc brought into the classroom by films, slides, and the teachers' personal knowledge. Teachers keep their knowledge timely by making frequent trips to Europe with the Foreign Language League. Pcacticmq her recorder before an ensemble performance is Mrs Erica Barron.
