Foreign languages Emphasize culture “The fluent use of foreign language, under- standing of the country's literature and other as- pects of the culture was the goal of the Foreign Language Department, as described by Miss Dor- othy Reynolds, department head. A highlight of the year in the department was the trips to Europe over the Easter vacation. Sev- eral students and teachers gained valuable and better understandings of the culture of different countries, their people, and their language. For the first year, Spanish IV and V were taught as one unit by Miss Dorothy Reynolds. Also new to Southeast was German III which was taught by Mr. Marlin Schrag.
