Miss Virginia Waldinger helps Bob Simms and Barbara Shotwell put up a French bulletin board. Barbara Foss, Mary Munday, Judy Rogers, and Rick Stiver discuss the translation of a Latin sentence with Miss Helene Wilson. LANGUAGES Foreign languages are a necessary part of the Edsel Ford curriculum for two reasons. One, the study of languages is being required by an increasing number of colleges and universities. Two, knowledge of a language other than English gives a person a broader cultural background and helps him to understand another coun- try’s customs and people. Four languages are offered at Edsel Ford. French and Latin are taught for three years; German and Spanish, for two years. Supplementing the study of grammar and vocabulary, students exercise their linguistic skills by acting in plays and designing language bulletin boards. Latin students Gayle Ward, Jennie Milnes, and Mary Ann Gute- kunst put up a bulletin board under the supervision of Miss Grace Kachaturoff. 14

SCIENCE Edsel Ford High School is in the middle of a five- year experimental program in natural science. Its purpose is to acquaint the student with the laboratory sciences and to give him a more liberal education in the area of science by requiring studies in several fields rather than in one field exclusively. The student is required to take one semester each of biology, chem- istry, and physics; and then he may select one or more additional semesters from these. The student whose scientific interest lies in other fields may elect photography, horticulture, or geology- astronomy. Mr. Arthur Konarske explains the principles of electric current to Cary Craig and Kelly Big- liardl. The science teachers at Edsel Ford are Mr. Stanley Smith.
