This year has seen the language department at its largest and most complete form in the history of Southington High. Advanced two-year courses in German and Italian are being taught. Besides a four-year course in Latin, four year courses in French and Spanish have been offered for the first time. The first two years of these programs find the student learning the basic fundamentals of the language. In the third and fourth years, specialization is stressed as the student translates literary works of the country's most noted writers. He is also acquainted with the culture of the language by extensive study of the people and their customs. This opportunity enables the college-bound stu- dent to acquire a more solid background in the language he will pursue further. DOMINIC A.

SOLOMITA University of Hartford Concord College, B.S., M.Ed., Spanish II, III, IV, Advisor to the Class of 1967 Last summer, on a grant from the National Defense Education Act, Mr. Alphonse D'Angelo attended the Italian institute at Central Connect- icut State College. A select group of twenty-five educators from all of the United States attended this tvvo-month seminar, which was held in com- memoration of the seven hundredth anniversary of the birth of Dante. Mr. D'Angelo had courses in the new audio- lingual approach to teaching, Italian culture, and intensive oral training. As well as the studies, there were many Italian social gatherings, mov- ies, and lectures. Italian was spoken at all times of the day. Learning from his fellow students, one third of whom were native-born Italians, Mr. D,Angelo acquired an increased facility to speak the lan- guage. In his classes here at Southington High, Mr. D'Angelo now stresses more oral work and cul- tural background so that students will associate a language with the people who speak it.
