'T i :- m :Q f 1 0 U 3 e Q The nation is making a drive to recruit young talent, but the embarrassing irony is that the better colleges and universities are having to post No Vacancy signs. Because ever-increasing numbers will be knocking at their doors, they are being forced to set their entrance standards on rising scales. We know that each year it will become more difficult for us to win entrance to the college of our choice.

Uv. sp, COmmUl1I1I VISIOHGO l'lGl2G Languages do gain emphasis When Dr. Karl Bohren announced to the language faculty that he had arranged for the introduction of German and Russian into the curriculum, he expressed the hope that one day Clairton would be known as the town in which everyone is able to speak at least two languages. As a step toward this goal, he added, plans were being discussed for starting languages in the Clairton grade schools. A little later we students learned that in addition to the new German and Russian courses, we could also choose from a third year of Latin or Spanish. In view of the national need, Clairton students should become more language-minded, should take advantage of the courses offered, should make Dr. Bohren's dream a reality. uzdw-4 wnol Sclm.i,l3wCDC4Ll.s lK0,QrQaM6S N Z, Sims Cllcuvvwlsf .
