Four years of Spanish, French, Latin and German are available, but to take the fourth year of language students must have begun study in the ninth grade. At this time only one class in Russian may be taken for study. Curriculum for a first year of any language is basically gram- mar, pronunciation skills and cultural patterns. Second year language courses place more emphasis on reading, transla- tion and conversation, but gram- mar and cultural studies are continued. Composition and book reading in the foreign language are the main units of study in the third and fourth years. Newly added to the Language Department is the language lab, used by the Spanish, French, German, and Russian Classes. The lab gives students practice in speaking and hearing the language they are studying. Be- cause all students speak at once, all get practice, while in a class- room only one student can speak at a time. Also, the laboratory. gives students an opportunity to hear a variety of native speakers instead of being limited to the teacher. . ' 1 languages M 'N MRS.

Ants THROUGH THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS DE- PARTMENT, students are able to learn basic skills in repair and construction that are beneficial to them throughout life. In Electronics l basic hand skills are taught. Also, study and experimentation with electrical appliances are included. Electronics Il, an advanced course, con- tinues study of Electronics l principles. The Mechanical Drawing course offers instruction in mechanical and architect- ural drawing and blueprint reading. Students enrolled in Engineering Draw- ing must have previously taken Mechan- ical Drawing, the course of study being the same but with Engineering Drawing being more advanced. Metal I courses offer activities and studies concerning machines, processes and materials of the metal industries, while Metal Shop ll, open only to those students recom- mended by the instructor, deals with the same suloiect matter on a more advanced scale. Two Wood Shop classes are offered. In both classes basic wood- working skills are taught, however, Woodship ll, like Metal Shop ll, requires that students in the course be recom- mended by the teacher. E HQ DANIEL R.
