iii i i iw ui -E ' it-l iff Nb.-ge, gg-1 Foreign language department exp ln the past the only foreign language offered was Spanish, but this year a German course has been added to the curriculum. Many col- lege bound students take two years of either Spanish or German to meet col- lege requirements. Spanish I students learn the basic fundamentals of Spanish through drills and short conversations. In Spanish ll the students use the con- cepts they learn in Spanish I to make more detailed conversations and to write and translate essays. Students in the German class not only learn the basics of the German language, but also about the histories and cultures of German speaking countries.
