Elon Collegeg University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Physical Scienceg Adviser Civinettes. In the course of civilization, man's knowledge of science has continually grown broader. This has made it necessary for him to subdivide his store of scientific wisdom into general categories. We at WHS are in- deed fortunate to have facilities with which to learn the basic fundamentals of all of man's scientific knowl- edge. In the chemistry labs and classrooms, we may learn the essentials of the structure of the universe. Physics teaches us the elemental forces and laws which rule the cosmos. Biology fulfills our knowledge of our world by instructing us in the principles of life. By Lab work gives us an opportunity to see and study first hand some of the many things we talk about in class. 26 X f gf N' W , QQ, 2 X ,tys y ,tfs t , X . I a Q MRS.

This is considered essential in the face of the growing complexity of today's world. In the world of today, you meet science in every side. Rockets are launched to the moon, and yeast makes bread rise. We at WHS are truly privileged to have a fine science department to equip us for future life. Under the direction of capable teachers, biology teaches us to understand the complexities of living organisms.

Comment va-tu? Buenos dias! 5C6mo estd usted? Salve! are quite different from the sounds to which he is accustomed. Many days are spent drilling fundamentals and building a vocabulary from the very begin- ning. Gradually through repetition of sounds, dictations, and those dreaded tests, the strange became more meaningful. The foreign language department of Williams High School now offers four years of French, three years of Spanish, and two years of Latin. More advanced classes will be offered as the number of students registering for them warrants it. In addition to the fact that foreign language study enables a person TMS- xr-1-.i.
