Language Laboratory Increases Proficiency as ...,, Apolinar Diaz Cecelia Leven Robert Mueller Francesca Seigler Louise Wagner Clgda Wellbnm The goals of the Foreign Lan- guage department are to offer as much language as students can pro- fitably study, to study normal curri- culum in Foreign Language and ex- periment in new approaches to strengthen and develop consistently, to study cultures and social aspects of countries whose languages are studied, to study U.S. attitudes to- ward peoples and governments whose languages we study, to achieve as great a fluency as possible, and to read as much of the literature as pos- sible. To help carry out these goals the facilities include a language lab, films, Foreign language tapes, re- cords, slides and an overhead pro- jector. All students can elect a foreign language, but must sign up for at least two years. Students are encour- aged, if possible, to schedule three or four years of a language. The stu- dent can begin in the 8th grade with French, in 9th with Spanish, and German 10th. .. Representatives from various language classes experiment with the language laboratory.

Brite? Q Biological And Physical Science Dwight Anderson Byron Arnold Donald Hart 'v' Charles Holloway Harry Kelley Igonmd Pgulu Earle Thompson Iola Tillnpaugh The Science Department offers full year courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Physical Science. Achievement in the sciences depends upon such factors as persistence, ac- curacy and a continuing desire to learn and understand. Every high school graduate will have re- ceived instruction in two years of science, with the exception of those who elect to spe- cialize in business and shop courses. The fun- damental principles receive emphasis in each of the four courses. These principles meet the science needs of those who complete their for- mal education with high school as well as those who intend to pursue higher education. In keeping with the demands for science education, there will be two more science class- rooms available in the new addition at Wash- ington High School. 14- bv' my-ff no Felpg, HORN T , :Q-'i5+f5s'C Ctiiisf X' wi.
