Aikin's discourse was interrupted by the photographer. Comprehension And Successful Mastery Of Numerous Mathematical Formulas . . Hermann Boeckmann was caught by the photographer pointing out his first mistake to his sixth hour accelerated geometry class. The lively math teacher has long been known for his sense of humor.

ii FL..- Second year Spanish students were among the many students who increased their skills by making use of their alloted time in the newly installed language laboratory. Four Instructors Brought To Life Old-World Flavor Of Latin, Spanish, French Languages Top To Bottom Stephen Adams - Foreign Languageg Adviser, French Club. Mary Jeannette Munce - Foreign Language, Guidance, Adviser, Latin Club. Roger Ruddy - Foreign Language, Englishg Adviser, Latin Club. Ema Wood -- Foreign Language, Adviser, Spanish Club. Glass-enclosed individual booths, microphones, recordings, tapes, and an instructor to atwistw the many dials -the new electronic classroom, better known as a language laboratory, made learning of a foreign language, whether it be Latin, French, or Spanish, a totally new and invigorating experience for students. Whether in the laboratory, in the classroom, where stories were read, skits enacted, or well- known characters portrayed, or in the Student Center where associated clubs were meeting, stu- dents furthered their knowledge of the color of the language. At the controls in the language lab, Miss lVlunce listened to Latin students recite and offered an occasional helpful comment.

What makes a satellite go into orbit? Yes, and what is it that makes it remain there? What does a cancer cell look like? Why is it so very deadly? What is nuclear fission? Do you think we will ever use atomic energy for peaceful means alone? Will the addition of Horide to drinking water really cause less tooth decay? These and many others like them were the ques- tions the students asked. Eventually, biology, chem- istry, and physics classes might give the answers. 17
