Languages Are The Keys To Inter- National Understanding LANGUAGE DEPT. Foreign languages become increasingly im- portant as modern transportation brings our world neighbors closer to us. While teaching us the skills of foreign tongues, the teachers of our language department have acquainted us with the customs, art, literature, and cultural back- ground of these foreign neighbors as well. With this knowledge comes a greater understanding of these people. Elaine Pray, Phyllis Freeman, and Beverly Maskell look on as Edward Steeves describes les devoirs de demain. % Miss Lydia Risi, chairman of the department.
