The Spanish and French Clubs meet on a regular basis to discuss the culture and unique life of people in different lands. One of the goals of these organi- zations is to become familiar with the geography, climate, interests, traditions, and language of people from other countries. lt is interesting to learn about the types of food people from other places enjoy, what their daily ac- tivities are centered around, and what differences and similiarities exist be- tween them and Americans.

Author You're book is HOW long overduc!'? Sitting at the main desk in the Media Center, Claire Car- penter goes about her daily tasks. , ,, Two very important aspects of learn- ing are the library and the Audio-Visu- al departments. They both are a vital part of the learning process. The li- brary even cornes equipped with aids. These helpful people use their talents to guide bewildered students to the right source of information. They may not always be the most popular people in the world but in the long run one must realize the importance of their presence in the Media Center. Much money has been invested in this large section of T.J.C. Purchases have ranged from books and encyclopedias to a detection device which sets off an alarm when ever someone takes out a book that has not been desensitized. The Audio-Visual department is also a vital part of Corcoran. Projectors, film- strips, records, and other such devices are available to teachers and students wishing to use them for educational purposes. front row: Bill DeLuccia, Mickey DeVesty, Dick Plummer, James front row: Sue Lawyer, Sabrina Brown, Cindy Robinson, Pam Harn- Woods. 2nd row: Artie Richardson, Ronnie Hayden, Joe Vartuli.

Enjoying the scenic view from the Rez, Madeline Leyden, advisor of the Forensics Club, spends many afternoons in quiet meditation. Yaht ee Corcoranis Forensic Team got off to a great start, capturing first place in their first competition. The team was organized this year for the first time. Corcoran's team joins students from many high schools who compete individually against each other. Categories vary, from writing and delivering an original speech on any topic to mem- orizing and acting out a scene from a play, or orally inter- preting a poem or story. Madeline Leyden, Virginia Maroney, and Barbara Sorenson, a teacher from Shea, dedicated time to listen to and advise mem- bers, visibly producing a promising group. By competing with CBA, Henningergand Nottingham, about ten Corcoran students match wits and test their speed on all types of Math problems. Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus are all used in competition questions. Com- petitors must answer within a specified time limit. Each school has up to five people competing individually on each question with one point awarded for each studentis right answer. The team with the highest score wins. At the end of each season, Corcoran has a big meet with all the schools in the area. Last year Tim Reed, a senior, placed in the top fifteen in the state meet. It all adds up to alot of challenging fun. 1' front row: Sue Stone, Laurie Walker, Tim Reed, Von Campbell. 2nd row: Mary Fiumano, Ganesh Sundaram, George Gowen, Glen Sturge John Barott, Andy Eccles.
