Students Gain Cultural Insight Through Language, Social Studies Debbie Thompson tries to break the candy- filled pinata in her Spanish class. Three foreign languages — Span- ish, French, and Latin — are being offered at Manual. The largest number of linguistic scholars enroll in Spanish — for a minimum of two years. Students in advanced Spanish are exposed to Spanish literature. Because of the expanding French enrollment, a new teacher, Mr. John Krueger of the Social Studies Department, was recruited to teach a beginning French class. Students e nrolled in Latin, as in other foreign language classes, study grammar and learn lists of vocabulary, while also delving into the culture of ancient Rome. A language class listens to tapes in the Language Lab. In addition to tapes, the lab is also used by the Latin, Spanish, and French classes for movies. This year, the Social Studies De- partment added a new class, Metro- politan Problems. Metro gives the qualities that an effective city should have and shows how people can influence their city. World History offers a look into the past. Citizenship trains for just that. Students enrolled in Psycho- logy study personality, heredity, and behavior. Seniors, interested in teaching, can participate in Ex- ploratory Teaching. All Manualites are required to study United States History as jun- iors, and Economics and United States Government as seniors. b Mr. David Phillips records Maria Ground, Walter Lamperski, and Larry Hathaway.

Inquisitive Minds Employ Math, Science Fundamentals Earth Science students Terry Willis, Joe Farley, Trudy Clark, and Becky Adkins plot the paths the glaciers took when cutting across North Ame-ica. Math and science principles go hand in glove and courses in both areas pile on each other to bring majors in these fields to an under- standing of their concepts. However, all headed for gradua- tion must satisfactorily complete a year in both fields of study. A student begins his math stint with general math or algebra, and if a student e ' ects, he may continue through geometry, advanced alge- bra, trigonometry, analytical geom- etry, and calculus. The science requirement for all students is biology which deals with the form and way of life of living things. Students learn to use the microscope, and employ dissec- tion techniques in lab work. The advanced math courses lend themselves helpfully in chemistrv and phvsics classes. Chemistry stu- dents gain insight to the composi- tion of matter and the nature of chemical change, while physics stu- dents explore energy forms and their effects upon matter. Bob Watness, Bob Crawford, and Mike Graham, Physics students, calculate the range of an arrow. They have already fig- ured out what the range should be by using Trigonometry. Now, they are testing to see if their calculations are correct. 26
