Spanish students speak language fluently as Sue Stasko uses visual aids to illustrate Spanish to the second year students. Studying diligently to keep up with her Spanish lessons is Dolores Morando. 28 Just as no one person can possibly know all there is to know about literature, neither can a Spanish or German student learn all there is to know about his language; but the pupils enrolled in Mr. Taylor and Mr. Ulrich’s foreign language classes are indeed striving for perfection in their respective languages. Each drill, each new word learned, each error corrected brings students closer toward reaching their goal. Three years of German were offered in the 1969-70 curriculum. German IV was not included in the schedule. The first three years acquainted the pupils with the language, customs, and traditions of Germany. Dialogue presentation improved diction and helped perfect those unusual, “un-American” sounding consonants and vowels. Visual aids proved to be invaluable to first year members. Third and fourth year Spanish classes were combined. Mr. Taylor strove to present a cultural background and better prepare college-bound students for future careers. A better understanding of the ways of life of the Spanish-speaking people and native-sounding dialect were the intended end results of the Spanish courses.
