language Deparfmcnf C'est la Vie . . . ! El Camino's foreign language department has experienced great change in its appearance and curriculum by the acquisi- on of a language laboratory. All the modern language classes re participating in this newest addition to the foreign language epartment program by making consistent usage of the labora- ary. First and second year course students use it to the greatest xtent because the department has received a fuller program f books and tapes in the first and second levels of languages. Although with the advent of the language laboratory a reater emphasis has been placed on conversation and correct ronunciation, the skill of composing in and reading a foreign xnguage is never overlooked. Students are encouraged to take at least three, and if pos- 'ble four, years of the same language. lt has been found that Fudy in depth is necessary to become fluent in a language.

El Camino offers an accel- rated math program. Some of ur students begin studying al- ebra in the eighth grade. lf iey continue their study of math throughout their high :hool years, they will complete ie regular math courses by the nd of the iunior year. They will 'udy topics of modern math the acond semester of the iunior ear. Analytic Geometry and alculus are offered during the enior year. Students passing ie Advance Placement Tests in alculus at the end of the senior ear will be awarded one year fcollege credit. Our high school offers a com- lete program to fulfill the needs f all college bound students as 'ell as students who are inter- sted in the minimum amount F math.
