Keeping Physically A welcome break in the middle of a jam-packed day is the trot down to the gym for an hour of physical instead of mental exercise. While the summer breezes are still lingering around the athletic fields, soccer balls and footballs fly from goal to goal, and stray dogs on the archery hill wager their existence against the skill of a class of female Robin Hoods. Winter forces the girls inside to practice teamwork and techniques on the basketball court, and MR. JAMES DAVIS. B.S., M.Ed.: Varsilv Sports ... MR. FRED- ERICK FITANIDES. B.S..

The boys, oblivious to all kinds of weather, carry on a rugged outdoor program covering sj orts from foot- ball in the fall to baseball and track in the spring and, incidentally, turning out many varsity players. The ideals of sportsmanship and teamwork acquired now will benefit us the rest of our lives. Mr. Doanc and Mr. Judkins discuss the record of the varsity and JV basketball teams. They served as special coaches reporting each afternoon to work out with the squads. 17

Read, Listen, Write, Speak —Understand In these days of dwindling distances, the average American is coining to understand the importance of being able to meet his foreign friends on their own language level. Knowing that it is necessary to under- stand a country’s customs as well as its language, B-CC language teachers base their instruction on the country’s way of life as well as on the essentials of vocabulary and syntax. Our proximity to so many embassies and their willingness to help us make our language courses. We become acquainted with Rome’s history and its men of letters. Interest in the Romance languages also runs high; emphasis is placed on conversation as well as grammar and customs of Spain and France. A language lab, equipped with tape recorders and ear- phones, has been installed for the use of all language classes. Started as an experiment in Montgomery County schools, the language lab at B-CC has proved especially interesting and beneficial. language Lab provides an opportunity for each student to hear and practice with- out interrupting other stu- dents. Miss Sullivan moves around the classroom, giv- ing students individual in- struction. MISS LEONORA AIKEN, B.A.. M.A.; French I. II. Ill . . . MRS. ANGELA DARBY. B.A., L.L.B.: Latin II.

Bill Shorrock hadn't realized the possibilities of the elements of Plane Geometry until Mr. Baish and Judy Freeman pointed them out. Math — The Key to a Satellites and rocket ships and the world struggle for scientific supremacy—these current events are constant reminders of the imjrortancc of mathematics. Here at Bethesda-Chevy Chase, however, we need no reminder. From the commercial math to the rapid learner solid geometry anti trigonometry classes, both the future Mr. Woolford adjusts the transit for Alice Bryant while Lcs Higbie, book in hand, waits his turn. Modern World scientist and homemaker realize the various important roles that mathematics will play in later life. We take advantage of the excellent instructors and course of- ferings at Bethesda to obtain the best possible back- ground for the future. We also find the time to com- plain about its difficulty!
