Horizons widened by religion courses Religion and philosophy courses offer students a chance to consider and evaluate their ideas concerning fundamental concepts of life. Courses in the Old and the New Testaments provide a foundation which guides students to a clear understanding of the development of Christianity. As the historical progress of man is directly related to the evolution of religious ideas, students find topics covered in other courses closely as- sociated with religious concepts. They are encouraged to broaden their knowledge through courses in Ethics and World Religions. below: Mr Roy is amused by a comment from one of his students, lower right: Humor is an essential component of lectures given by Mr McDowell; left: Miss Cartledge encourages student interest in basic philosophy: lower left: Students listen intently to Mr Woodruff ' s discussion in World Religions 26 academics L imtijiJilTilitlkJ

Languages supplement curriculum In the area of languages students become familiar with foreign cultures and proficiency is achieved in speaking either Spanish or French. Courses are offered at the beginning and intermediate levels. This allows students who already have a firm background in a language to continue their studies and provides a basic foundation for those beginning a language. Fluency in a foreign language is essential for the achievement of many occupational and educational goals. below: Melanie Johnson and David Hall are absorbed in their work during French lab, left: The accuracy of a students work is checked by Madame LeStrange: lower left: Mrs Perez stresses the importance of correct pro- nunciation to her beginning Spanish class, lower right: George Searle is assisted by Mr Perez academics 27 i Bs wmmg asm
