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
