The language department offers three romantic lan- guages-Spanish, French and Italian, one classical lan- guage-Latin, and one Germanic language-German. New developments are the addition of Italian I, Latin IV, and French III into the 1963-1964 curriculum. Italian II may be offered next year. A growing emphasis of languages is evidenced by the increased enrollment in the classes. Classes are Hlled to capacity. This is in part due to an additional requirement in the college preparatory curriculum that makes it man- datory for the freshman student to elect a language. The department has a unique teaching device-the language laboratory. Each booth in the sound-proof lab is equipped to enable the student to listen to tapes and make his own recordings. He can detect errors in his speech and develop his pronunciation skills. In the first and second years of the language classes, the basic rudiments are learned, As the student advances this knowledge is applied more extensively through the translation of sundry writings and noted literary works. The student is also familiarized with the culture from which the language comes by studying the land, the people, and their customs.
