Eight teachers, who taught German, Russian, Spanish and French, were headed by Dr. Emma Birkmaier, known widely for her participation in various committees connected with the teaching of languages. This year seventh grade students had a choice of studying Russian or Spanish, or to continue the German they had started at the University Elementary School. Use of the language labs and access to films and tapes helped make Modern Languages one of the strongest departments at U High. Mr. Ramedo Saucedo discussed plans for the Mexico trip.
