This is the language lab. lt serves as one ofthe many parts ot the language department that contributes to students understanding, speak- ing, reading and writing a language. The teachers also interest students in the his- tory and literature of the language they are study- ing. This is particularly emphasized in the third and fourth years. This year four years ot French, Spanish, Latin and German are offered. Classwork and individual work are equally important as laboratory work. The department emphasizes more outside work as an. attempt to promote initiative among the students. As the world becomes smaller, mastering a language is becoming more practical. Through new equipment and techniques the language department is con- stantly striving for the goals to meet new demands.

Business Prepares Students for Later Life Modern business methods and the complex- ities of our economic system demand that all schools provide a sound program of business education. DHS has tackled this problem success- fully by creating many different sections to its business education department. They include sec- retarial, which includes typing and stenographyy general clerical with courses in sales, bookkeep- ing and office machinesp and college prepara- tory courses of college typing, notehand and bus- iness organization and management. This department tries to encourage students to develop a sense of responsibility toward active participation in society and to prepare students for entry into the business world. This year the department has helped students in finding jobs related to the subiects they are studying. This helps them to learn while they participate in the actual working situation. if - l s .-. , . . . . 'i-- 1 K K Shari Solomon works on a rotary calculator.

Art Courses Stress Self-Knowledge Helping students develop an appreciation for artistic principles and history of art is one of the art department's main goals. lt also en- courages students to develop worthwhile values. 'lGrowing'ot self-knowledge is achieved by writing papers in conjunction with paintings. Courses offered at DHS include basic art, sculpture, painting and crafts. The studio art course is concerned with a philosophical ap- proach to art. Seniors selected for this course work in a tree atmosphere and design their own proiects. Giving others a chance to appreciate art is not neglected either. Art students display their work in the main corridor and are given the op- portunity to see their classmates' reactions.
