Foreign Languages— Choice of College-Bound Students If a student is college-bound, among the wide variety of courses available are the foreign languages. Through these foreign languages, Spanish. Latin, German, and French, students not only increase their knowledge but also become acquainted with interesting people of foreign lands and their customs. These classes also teach students to budget their time, as they must learn to do in college, when special reports or term papers are required. To enhance these courses, many films and slides are shown throughout the year. The facilities of the language laboratory are available so that students have the oppor- tunity to speak the language as well as write it. (To the right), Miss Adelaide Dunn inspects the work of a student in a Latin II class.

iimiwiii Business Department Provides Students with Experience for Tomorrow’s Jobs Students enrolled in Bloom’s business department classes are given the chance to receive an education toward a career in business through the use of the finest equipment available to high school students. With these machines, the business students are able to improve their skills so that they will be able to compete in the business world of tomorrow. Aiding the students toward this goal is the Distributive Education program. Through this system, students attend classes in the morning and work in the afternoon— thus giving them a taste of what is in store for them in the coming years. Mr. Roger Behling points out an important figure to remember during one of his lectures in bookkeeping class. Like everyone else, Mr. Ray Gilbert finds that he, too, must follow the old saying that “practice makes perfect”.
