TOUT LE MCNOE EN PARE CI EST QE CUE 3 EST ? lb Mrs. Elaine Eaton Department Head The Language Department offers students an oppor- tunity to learn about the language, customs, and people of France and Spain. Also, Latin gives the brave at heart a challenge at an old language. After learning the basics of grammar, the students study the geography, customs, foods, and attitudes of the people. With the installation of the new electronic classrooms in the French and Spanish rooms, a student is able to listen to tapes and to tape himself. This is a great asset in learning any language. The French and Spanish Clubs present to the students an opportunity to enjoy their knowledge with such activities as trips to foreign restau- rants, gourmet cooking, and visits to plays, such as The Little Prince. mm Mr. Robert Burke Mr. Manol Dhimitri 24
