Help Language Students In Comprehension West Lafayette's language department is unique in offering four different languages-- French, Spanish, Latin, and German. A know- ledge of languages and their backgrounds helps contribute to an understanding of international relations. The first three years of French were taught by Mrs. Rolande ErSelcuk, who emphasized pro- nunciation by using phonograph and tape record- ings. For the first time at West Side, fourth year French was taught, Mr. William Watkins being the instructor. He became well known to many students for using doll furniture to help his stu- dents build a strong vocabulary. Mrs. Mary Dis- chinger, a recent addition to the West Side staff, and Mr. William Watkins could be heard through the halls singing Spanish tunes. To Latin schol- ars, not only was the language explained by Mr. Oliver Oesch, but a concentrated Roman history course was included. Likewise, Mr. John Tully, the German instructor, presented much history and culture in addition to the actual language ap- plication. German magazines give Doug Livingston, Sue Woodruff, and George Schilling insight into the German culture. Communication is no problem to Mr. Oliver Oesch, Mr. John Tully, Mrs. Rolande ErSelcuk, and Mrs. Terry Dischinger. aw. .23- 'gfjfr ,le
