When one can travel a distance of three thosuand miles in three hours, it becomes ap- parent that if he is to keep up with the fast moving world around him, he must strive | to learn the languages of others. It seems nearly impossible to understate the impor- ) tance of knowledge and understanding of other languages, and Dover High School has | responded to the situation with the largest Spanish Ill class ever. In his third year, the student has finally. mastered basic grammatical skills, and he is free to try his hand in verbal communication. Mr. Pyne augments the regular class participation with Spanish novels and newspaper reports. Miss App, who teaches the French Ill students, offers them a program aimed at the study of vocabulary, pronunciation and a reading writing knowledge of the lan- guages. Miss Mary E.

First we study American authors and poets and later become acquainted with English literature. A special course known as English Composition enables interested juniors and seniors to further their skill in compositional work. News- paper layouts, poetry, and short story construction are but few of the phases studied by this group. By the time we are seniors we have been well drilled in mechanics Miss Rosemarie Battaglia — “Now to begin on and literature and all of us have read at least one play by Shake- page 54...” speare!

SEDULOUS SCIENTISTS Test tubes bubbling with fusing compounds, fish scrutinized by watchful eyes, are two of the many activities carried on by science students in their new labs. Beginning biology and chemistry students have an extra incentive this year, to aid them in their pursuit of increasing their knowledge of science: the new labs, What student would not endeavor to learn all he could, surrounded by the new microscropes, replicas of the parts of the body, and the working areas specifically provided for lab experiments?
