Languages: SPANISH: Miss Corielle Vogel. Mr. William Price. Mrs. Leslie Harmony (also French). This year something new was added to W.E.H.S. — the Foreign Language Division. The division is coordinated by Dr. Robert Cloos, who supervises in- struction in French, German, Latin, Rus- sian, and Spanish. More than 1,000 stu- dents at West Essex elected to study languages this year. As in the previous lour years, stu- dents are instructed in foreign language skills in the classroom and in the 30- booth language laboratory. Further- more, they have acquired a more thorough knowledge of the culture and geography of the foreign people and their countries. There are modern foreign-language clubs in French, German, and Spanish. Each is designed to give members an even more complete sense of living the language, and knowing the coun- tries where it is spoken.
