Frenrh German Spanish Besides the usual language classes—French, German. Russian and Spanish I. II. III. and IV — plus the advanced classes, members of the Modern Language Department worked on a program for the junior high and University Elementary school this year. Seventh and eighth graders w ill continue the languages begun this year during the coming year, and when they reach the freshman level, they will have the choice of continuing their chosen language or starting another. Eighth graders will make this choice next year. At the more advanced level, several senior high students with special linguistic ability were allowed to take languages at the University this year. Lynette Wells and Debby Charnley took Italian, and Ruth Berman, Eleanor Arnason, Jill Nash and Debby Charnley studied French. The department hopes to continue this general type of program next year.
