■ Familiarizing ■ The Foreign The ability to understand others and to make oneself understood is essential to daily living. Without the basic skills of communication, a person is, in a sense, separated from others, as there is very little he can effectively express nonverbally. Herein lies the importance of learning a foreign language. There are four foreign languages offered at the high school — French, Spanish, German, and Latin. It often takes years of study and practice to be able to converse intelligibly; thus students are encouraged to elect at least four years of the same language. French classes begin with learning basic vocabulary and speaking skills and progress to classes where French is spoken almost exclusively. In upper level courses, students study French culture extensively and also review several short stories, novels, and plays. Spanish students devote the first two years of their study to developing speaking and comprehension skills and also investigating the culture of Latin America. More advanced classes study the culture of Spain and review Spanish literary works. Students studying German become skilled in both conversation and written comprehension, but a study of art, music, and food is also included in order to gain an appreciation for German culture. Latin classes focus on the basic language skills and also acquire an understanding of mythology, history, and Roman culture. Each class differs in subject matter, but all classes aid in the communication with and the understanding of other people in the world. 164 Foreign Language

— Sculpting Minds, -Bodies, and Habits Do you know what we call this in driver's ed.? Oversteering! Lurking in virtually every sophomore, there is a driver's-ed-in-class-trainee These creatures insist on pointing out for the duration of the nine-week course every mistake a licensed driver makes. Aside from viewing films on the perils of hazardous driving, the students are briefed on the functions of a car, Ohio traffic laws, and basic safety and emergency procedures. After health class, another stereotypical student appears The inept-junior-in-health-class emerges from the room with a befuddled look in his eyes. We were supposed to write down two things we wanted to know about sex! he cries. I don't even know enough to know what I don’t know! But by the end of the course, the junior has listened to topics ranging from sexuality and venereal disease to first aid and cancer, thereby helping the junior to become more aware of himself and his environment. The “dissatisfied-gym-student insists on complaining about the trials she must endure during class. Swimming makes my hair stringy, and we're being graded on a letter system! Now I have to participate during class' When the semester is over, though, the malcontented girl finds herself missing the rousing softball and volleyball games, as well as the swimming unit. All three courses combine readily to increase the students' awareness of their mental and physical well being.
