\ Foreign Language Day At MCHS Recently, five guest speakers visited West campus and addressed themselves to the foreign language students of both East and West campuses. All of them told of their experiences using a foreign language and demonstrated its need in their careers. Martin Davis of Crystal Lake, with a background of German and Latin, had found that in his working conditions 25 percent of his workers were Spanish ̂ » speaking, With no English background. ^ In order to com­ municate with workers, his company contacted McHenry County college to find someone proficient in Spanish. They quickly sent help and a woman was soon writing letters and giving speeches to the workers. She also set up Spanish classes for the company's supervisors and English classes for their Spanish workers. Jim McGilvray, the general manager of Brake Parts in McHenry, told his audience that he took two years of Latin in college, but didn't see very much use for it when he acquired a job in Mexico. He moved there in 1965 and soon became acquainted with their language. After learning how to speak Spanish he "was soon promoted because of his ability to speak it so well. McGilvray brought to the students' attention the importance of all languages, especially since the country is being forced into the world market, where it is in­ creasingly more im­ portant to communicate. Rick Witowski, from the Military InteHigence branch, introduced Syliva Robertson and Greg Ford. Ms. Robertson identified herself and Ford in Russian. Both are graduates of the Defense Language institute in Monterey, Calif., and both are Russian linguists. ' Ford told how the Defense department offers 56 different languages to choose from and out of all of these, he selected Russian. His language training class was six hours in length I with another three hours of homework. This lasted for six months. The cla&s started with the Russian alphabet and dialogues, then later Russian history, politics and religion. Since both intercept and translate the Russian language they were also made aware of some profanity used by the Russians. They were taught to think in Russian, also k n o w i n g m i l i t a r y vocabulary Ford jokingly admitted that he knew more of the Russian Army than the Army of the United States. * Ms' Robertson called attention to the fact that since people here expect foreigners to learn the language, U.5 citizens should also make an effort to learn theirs. After they finished, open questioning was held. Each speaker told of experiences and careers for all foreign language students to realize how important it can be to know a second language.

William Dodds, announced that the school's accreditation has been extended through the 1960-81 school year following the review and approval of its annual report at the North Central association's (NCA) Annual meeting. Accreditation is for one year at a time and must be renewed annually. Once every seven years each NCA school must un­ dergo a comprehensive self- study followed by an NCA evaluation team review. McHenry "high school was last evaluated in 1979. A school is accredited on the basis of its report on con­ ditions existing in the school and on such supplementary information as the com­ mission on schools requests The report for 1980-81 assures us of ongoing NCA membership and ac­ creditation. This continued accreditation means that the conditions for effective education exist in the school. The NCA is the largest of the country's regional ac­ crediting agencies. It is a voluntary league of over 4,800 schools and 850 colleges and universities in 19 states, plus the Department of Defense Dependent schools throughout the world, the association works with in­ dividual schools to improve the quality of education through a continuous process of evaluation and accreditation. Dr. John S. Kemp, NCA state director at the University of Illinois, congratulated McHenry high school on its continued ac­ creditation for 1980-81. "This should be a matter of satisfaction to the students and the parents of the school, since accreditation gives assurance that the school meets those minimal yet rigorous preconditions for e f f e c t i v e e d u c a t i o n established by the association. Through this voluntary membership in the NCA, the school and the people in the district have committed themselves to the pursuit of quality in education."
