Mrs. Rulnick explains and demonstrates the correct procedure for operating the equipment in the foreign language laboratory to Sylvia McKen ie. Canguage Cab Speeds Ceaming Pweess Increasing world travel, diplomatic meetings between representatives of different nations, and other instances of contact between people who speak different lan- guages has made instruction of foreign languages a major study area for high school students. Such is the case at F.T.S. Having lived their lives in times when the knowledge of foreign languages has been so important, F.T.S. students have been stimulated to choose from the four foreign languages offered to them — Spanish, French, Latin, and German. Modern methods of foreign language instruction used by the department make this line of study more interest- ing and enjoyable to the student. Up-to-date textbooks are used, and a language laboratory is available that is especially useful in individual self-help. Besides drills in vocabulary and grammar, classroom study also in- cludes skits, playlets, and the study of foreign culture and history. This provides an opportunity for the stu- dent to gain a well-rounded knowledge of the language and the areas where it is spoken. In keeping up i ith new need for communication in foreign languages, students are taking advantage of the excellent foreign language program at F. T.S. They are finding that learning a new language is fun as well as informative. Assuming a comfortable position, Mr. Carr discusses a story in the Spanish textbook. 39

Social Studies Stresses Mou and Mis World Information and understanding of the world affairs to which our attention is so often directed is necessary to obtain a good foundation in social studies. With this in mind, the F.T.S. social studies department strives to instill an understanding and in- terest of world affairs into each student in the particular social studies course he is taking. Through the presentation of the important events, problems, and milestones in the history of man, social studies stu- dents learn the principles that have guided men throughout history in making their decisions. Many helpful social studies courses are offered at F.T.S. World history is open to sophomores and seniors. This course deals with man and his world from the time of his existence to the present. United States History is required of all juniors. This course is taught both by television and by regular classroom method. Television stu- dents have a half hour of television and one half hour of classroom discussion. A variety of elective courses offered by the social studies department provide an op- portunity for the student to supplement his interest in this area with other subjects. These subjects are government, world geography, sociology, and economics. Con- temporary history is a course which ex- amines current world problems and his- tory. Students wishing to take contempor- ary history must receive special approval before being able to register for it. Pausing before answering a student’s question, Mr. Landreth leads a discussion on the flags of the fifty states. MR. ROBERT R.
