The newest of these courses is debate and discussion. The school is very proud of the debate team, which has enjoyed extraordinary success the past two seasons. The speech and debate courses are helpful in building self-confidence and also in improving self-expression. Dramatics helps students in developing their dramatic abilities. Derivatives provides students with a background of the English language. Library science teaches how a library is operated and how books are categorized and infor- mation filed. MAY I HELP YOU?

Language and math departments initiate BUNJOUR. . .Starr Eads and Bonnie Voclkel practice writing as well as speaking French There have been several changes in the Lang- uage Department in its 40 year history. Two addi- tions have been the language laboratory, which en- ables the student to hear and practice speaking a foreign language in actual conversation, and the Honors Abroad Program, which allows outstand- ing language students to study in foreign coun- tries during the summer months. The program was initiated in 1962 by Indiana University. When Washington first opened, there were four foreign languages offered-S p a n i s h, Latin, French, which was brought back six years ago, and German, which isn't offered now. In 1928 Miss Vivian Ely became head of the Mathematics Department. She retired in 1963. Up- on the death of Mr. Robert McConnell, who had served as acting head for only three months, Mr. Robert Badgley became the chairman and has held the post for the last three years. The relatively new modern math program initiated in certain courses has provided a better understanding of mathematics in recent years. Only three courses were offered in 1927. . . ., .. ...,, ..,. ,. ,... ,.,, . ,t .,-,. i ,,Ac W. ,. l , ii ' i ' 11. i 3 5. f. ' ' w ,V . .Ml , X . -4, if ' .il '. X' .0 .'
