MRS. PATRICK S. PRICE Students Train Tongues Talking and listening have shared key positions in the two communications courses, Spanish and dramatics. Lazy lips, slow tongues, and ignorant accents have been attacked vigorously. Ears have been tuned to phonics and eyes to appropriate gestures. Speech therapy has been a special service for stu- dents needing extra help. With the aid of tape recorders, phonographs, listening booths, peers' criticisms, and teachers' evaluations, students have improved their ability to converse in foreign and native tongues. MR.

Mathematics Program Challenges Students As a result of the increased emphasis on higher mathematics, a student at Maryville High has the opportunity to complete four units in this Held of learning. The studies, geared to the students' needs, vary from general mathematics to algebra and advanced mathematics. Two years of algebra are offered along with a higher mathematics course which in- cludes some phases of trigonometry, analytical ge- ometry, and calculus. With ever increasing numbers in classes, the instructors have been forced to lessen the amount of personal guidance so necessary in developing correct study methods. Even under the crowded conditions, however, MHS has one of the best high school mathematics departments in the area. MRS. CHARLES BLAGG Eighth, Ninth Grade MRS.
