Language Department Meets Needs Of Students LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT ln the French courses, understanding and listening comprehension are stressed in early stages of study, This year more than ever, oral work was emphasized with our increased lab facilities. There the students benefit from taped stories, drills, and exercises. Throughout the French courses, vocabulary and gram- mar are included along with other work, giving the students a sound basis for the work in literature which is undertaken in French Ill and IV. In Latin, the students do many projects on subjects related to Latin and to Roman life. They also study grammar and vocabulary ofthe Latin language, which are the basis tor both English and French. ln second, third, and fourth year Latin, the works of great auth- ors, such as the AENEAD by Virgil, are studied. These courses give the students not only a knowledge of the language, but also an insight into Roman life and thought. Knowledge of more than one foreign language is becoming very necessary in our world today, and the Language Department at Sharon High is continuing to do an excellent job in preparing the students to meet this demand. Great minds with but a single thought. Au. Q Mr. Daniel M. Foley Latin B.A. Boston College M.Ed.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT At the beginning, math may have been all Greek to the students at Sharon High School, but by the end of their courses, they were familiar with the Greek alphabet, from alpha C047 and beta C13 l, to pi C779 and theta QQJ, as well as the formulas and equations they are used in. The Mathematics department of Sharon High School prepares the student for future study or work through an excellently planned and more than adequate program consisting of a possible five years of basic and advanced mathematics. Starting with Elementary Alge- bra and Business Mathematics the courses range through intermediate Algebra to Calcu- lus and Analytic Geometry. Don't tell me I added wrong!
