LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT SHOWS IMPROVEMENT The language lab with its modern equipment gave students many opportunities for advanced study in French and Spanish. Auburn High School ' s language laboratory, added in 1963, greatly strengthened the language department and has become the center of modern language in- struction. French and Spanish students in the lab make use of aural-oral (listening-speaking) techniques by listen- ing to tapes in the language and pronouncing the sentences given them. Tapes of native voices are used to give the students correct pronunciation and accent. While the instructor monitors the class, each student works individually. Voici Mile.

SENIORS: Ken Lange, Becky Raub, Karen Hahn, Kristen Weile JUNIORS: Terry Habig, Carol Long, Linda Nugen, Nancy Coope HIGHEST SCHOLARS HONORED BY THE FOLLIES Each year the Follies chooses to honor the top rank- ing students of each class. It is the belief of the Follies that superior achievement deserves special recogni- tion. The students pictured on this page have proven their ability to learn and shown their desire to make the most of the educational opportunities offered them in high school. The FOLLIES honor roll is in no way connected with the six weeks or ten per cent honor rolls of the school. The four members of each class with the highest averages are chosen for the Follies honor roll. Selections of sophomores, juniors, and seniors are made on a basis of cumulative se- mester averages. SOPHOMORES: Johanna Storey, Jerry Cripe, John Morningstar. FRESHMEN: Janet Romir Scott. Melinda Henning, Kathy Gerig, Ken

ADVANCED SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS The addition of new laboratories in 1963 greatly in- creased the effectiveness of the science department and promoted interest in the study of science. Modern equipment and the opportunities afforded for ad- vanced study have given A.H.S. one of the finest sci- ence departments in this part of the state and have enabled A.H.S. to keep pace with the increased em- phasis on science . This year a program of original research projects was begun. Students participating worked on their own to study a specific phase of science and do orig- inal research in their chosen subject. Original research projects gave students a deeper understanding of their chosen subject and increased their knowledge of laboratory skills. Vexed?
