V FOREIGN LANGUAGES Do you expect a yes or no answer? . . . Round your lips, place your tongue against your lower teeth and say e . . . sic ait. Classical offers courses in Greek, Latin, French and German, under the direction of Miss Charlotte A. Wetherell. Students have the opportunity of follow- ing a three year Greek course and a four year Latin course. In the modern language classes, oral usage is stressed. The study of each language oifered is supple- mented by the study of the appropriate cultural back- ground, and such classics as the Iliad, the Aeneid, Cymno cle Bergerac, and Wilhelm Tell are read in the original. Students in the fourth year advanced French course do original writing and study the literature of great French authors, as well as presenting many oral reports. These classes are conducted entirely in French. WE MUST HAVE lost something in the translation, sigh Mike Leeman and Tom Hill as Mrs. Leeman points out an error. Three maniples in a cohort .

LANGUAGE LABORATORY The language laboratory of Classical High School complements conventional studies of French and Ger- man. With fifteen booths for listening and response, and nineteen ear phones for comprehension, students hear various foreign speakers. All receive individual correction for the improvement of translation and accent. As other students do not hear a pupil's mis- takes, self-consciousness is eliminated. In addition, students of the advanced French course record and listen to their own voices. Also, the laboratory is open for interested students on Tuesday mornings before school. Any student may take advantage of a special French conversation group by giving up his fourth period study, once a week. o HAH, YOU DIDN'T think I knew you were there, chortles cagey Mike Roberts as he spots the CADUCEUS photographer in the language lab Richard Merlino, John Vernaglia USTUDENTS!

GUIDANCE In addition to the interview which all students have with their counselors each year, the Guidance Department handles many more activities. Program cards and schedules are arranged for the stu- dent body. Guidance counselors serve as advisors for school social functions. The department meets the needs of Classical's juniors and seniors by keeping them in- formed of College Board testing dates and available scholarships. In addition, counselors spend many hours completing college applications and writing recom- mendations. Under the warm leadership of Miss Mary McKay, the Guidance De- partment provides personal contact be- tween the student and the school. FINE ARTS Art and music literature classes are in- structed by Mrs. Dorothy Moore and Mr. Robert Revicki, respectively. In these courses, students voluntarily give up their study periods to learn the fundamentals of art and music. Under experienced faculty members, the stu- dents broaden their cultural knowledge and develop their talents. 30 OH DEAR, MY tree still looks too much like a tree, worries Marguerite Rocca. 1
