Good communication may serve as a vital thread that can tie differing nations and cul- tures together. Always striving to serve the students' needs and prepare them for future years, Marshfield offers an excellent language curriculum including courses in Spanish, French, Russian, and Latin. Geared to provide a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of the three modern conversa- tional languages desired by the high school Pam Brumbraugh practices her French in the language lab.

Students wishing a good background and knowledge of a language are aided by the use of a modern, well-equipped language lab, conversation records, and textbooks. Nor is the study of ancient language neglected. Latin, a language which has nourished and enriched the English language itself, proved valuable and interesting to many students. The department underwent a considerable change in personnel with the addition of Mrs. Ora Niemela in French and Mr. Dale Wakem in Latin. Mr. Dale Wakem gives a vocabulary test to first year student Marv Paczesniak. SW-1 X - . M awe WNXQ . . 211 :ff Q, . Q, 5. f 4 4 f,. .. . ' -Z.: .... ...S ,,.:VV:.,.ii

ASQ? --. Mathematics Program Undergoes Revision The mathematics department was greatly altered this year with the conversion to the con- cepts of the new math. This system spotlights reasoning, not merely memorizing, in the devel- opment of mathematical fundamentals. The stu- dents are given theorems, axioms, and postulates so they can proceed to deduce and prove relation- ships, instead of the previously-used mechanical process of memorizing these relationships and rules. With the emphasis of the ability to develop and then apply fundamental mathematical know- ledge to new situations, students are better pre- pared for the college math that some will en- counter. The varying degrees of difficulty in courses covered by the mathematics department make it well geared to the needs of each individual. Courses in algebra, arithmetic, trigonometry, geometry, and modern math are offered to chal- lenge and broaden the student's math compre- hension. af .ygu ,,,,, yy 1 19
