 Mrs. Mimi Kingsley Languages Dr. Mario Colacci 28 The language department bus been revitalized. With the addition of three new instructors, Dr. Hatchek, Miss Aaskov, and Mrs. Thompson, the department has gained strength and depth. The department has added to its course of study eight new soundproof laboratory booths, each equipped with tape recorders to enable students to both hear the language spoken and to record their own use of the language. The tapes include stories, grammar, and conversation. The approach to languages has been ex- panded to take into consideration more than the mere memorization of grammar rules and vocabulary. Students learn of the culture of the country by learning of the con- tributions made to music, literature and art.

Philip Thompson Department Head Speech and Art JL Speaking, whether professional or not, is one of the main occupa- tions of our lives. Self expression is most often given through verbalization of our ideas. Through the speech department we often receive our first exposure to public speaking. Some students go on to develop debating skills under the direction of Ur. Anderson. Others use their speech talents in the drama department, which is under Miss Cole’s direction. Phil Thompson, head of the art department, has developed an interesting and informative addition to the campus. In the basement of Old Main an Art Gallery has been set up. It features both the works of famous artists and a variety of student art work. Dr. Raymond Anderson Department Head
