The library provides a place for peace- ful contemplation. Mr. Raymond Adler The Arts of Communication The arts of Dramatics, Journalism, Speech and De- bate are closely related. All require talent, ambition, and a great deal of imagination. These courses may be career courses or they are perhaps fun courses, but in either case prove extremely rewarding for those who are willing to put forth their best efforts. There seldom is indifference, however, for these courses bubble with enthusiasm and spirit. The Dra- matics Department gives a start to our future actors and actresses in the annual play. The Journalism De- partment puts out the Little Bear -the intriguing, informative, newsy-paper which is published in the interim between Spectators. Speech instructs our fu- ture politicians and lawyers in the essentials of gain- ing public acceptance. The school debaters pit them- selves against other schools in their great debates . All of these courses are formative in nature: they add immeasurably to our personalities. During a debate, Ken Brenner and Dave Appleman watch for a flaw in the opposing team's argument. 16 Miss Sondra Byam ' gus- , ,

'fx skew' new Judith Seigal, Octavio Susr, -7OSe Varona, and Esteban Formoso help ro make Spanish a living language at Berkley High. Latin, Spanish, French, and German are the four languages offered at Berkley this year. Latin provides an excellent background for the student majoring in English because so much of our English language is Latin derived. lt is also very helpful for students pursuing careers in anthropology, chemistry, and medicine since the iargon common to these fields consists of a great many Latin words. Spanish and French, the Romance Languages, are studied with the idea of learning to speak these modern tongues somewhat fluently , German is also studied for this reason, and it is becoming an in- creasingly important language in scientific and political circles. The Language Laboratory has been added to the Language Department in the last two years. The main purpose this roomis to give the student practice in the pronuncia- tion of the words of a language. This prac- tice helps the student to read and translate the language more efficiently. Mr Mrs. Lucienne Dodson .
