JUNIOR AND SENIOR DIVISION LANGUAGES The West Essex Knight is presented a wide range of languages to choose from: French, German, Latin, Russian or Spanish. The student in a language class is given the oppor- tunity to comprehend, speak, write, and read the language. For the student exposed to a language for three or four years, there is the extra opportunity to learn about the life and culture of the particular country. Outside reading is also required of the student. A language festival sponsored by the Language Department was held at the April P.T.A. meeting. It featured folk songs of the various languages, demonstration classes in the language rooms, and a sidewalk cafe. 22 Mr. Walter Guletsky

Knights in Afro-Asian Cultures, World History and World Geography classes are presented a look at the rest of the world by learning of their location, cultures, and histories. Various trips were taken this year in connection with history. World History classes enjoyed Tom Jones, depicting England in the eighteenth century. A first at West Essex this year was a trip by three of Mr. James Mitchell's eighth grade history classes for a week- end in Washington, D.C. The classes left school at 6:00 A.M. on Friday, March 20, for Washington. During their trip they saw the White House, the Senate in ses- sion, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials and the grave of President John F. Kennedy. Oh, so that's how it works! 21
