A foreign touch through languages ln order that the United States may assume World leader- ship, the citizens of the country must know and care about the people and countries beyond their own borders. As an Ameri- can, one cannot acquire a rounded appreciation of the World Without understanding the many foreign languages and cultures of the world. ln FHS a student learns of different countries through two-year courses of Latin, French, and Span- ish. The duties of the language teachers are to teach students to read, Write, and speak foreign languages, to develop the ability to understand a given language as it is spoken, and to make students aware of the culture of foreign lands.

Ruth Walker: Biology I and 111 Future Teachers of Ameri- ca adviser. Albert Sielceres: Physics, Senior Hi-Y adviser. Chemistry, Lab work makes young scientists The intention of the Science Department of FHS is to offer to each interested student a good background in the natural sciences. Aware ot the increased demand for well-informed men and women in the many fields of science, the department has doubled its efforts to, at least, give the student a beginning. The instructors ot general science seek to give a very broad background in all phases of science from A to Z-astronomy to Zoology. Biology I and Il offer more intense instruction in botany and zoologyp text-book study is aug- mented by actual laboratory work, which some- times includes dissection but more frequently work with live specimens. As a result of the Bowling Green State University Extension Branch located in FHS, the biology lab was greatly enlargedg new intsruments Were also added. Chemistry is another subject which depends a great deal on actual lab workp also as a result of the Branch, the chemistry lab was expanded to provide space for new equipment and for storage of one of the best supplies of chemicals in northwestern Ohio. The physics course in FHS requires a background in chemistry and math, since the students learn not only through text-book study but also by working problems. Laboratory experiments are performed by either the instructor or by the students working in pairs. A chemistry student makes deli- cate adjustments on a new an- l alytical balance. i General Lester A. VanSar1t: Scienceg Projection Club, Sophomore Hi-Y adviser.

Another Friday means another American government news summary for lim Brandt who is deeply engrossed in a stack of magazines. Students trace time through Social Studies Understanding the present is sometimes difficult Without a knowledge ot the past. There are many fundamentals involved in gaining a clear perception of the history of the World and its people. Problems of today are similar in many respects to those of the past. This is one ot the things that the FHS teachers try to present to students enrolled in Social Studies' courses. Since the students of today are the citizens of tomorrow, they should have a clear idea not only ot present governmental processes, but of the history behind them. Today's students will be responsible tor the maintenance and continuance ot democracyp therefore, it is necessary for the students to become acquainted with the activities of mankind, both past and present. 1 Thomas E.
