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 .'

Social and physical SOCIAL SCIENCE Students acquire a greater knowledge of the past in the classes of the Social Studies Department. Courses now offered in this department are world history, world geography, U.S. history, Indiana his- tory, and international relations. The newest course offered is World History III.. There have been many changes in the faculty of this department. Since 1927, four teachers have served as head of the department-Mr. Charles H. Money C1927-19495, Mr. Joseph Jones C1949-19555, and Mrs. Anne Burge C1955-19665. Mr. Carl Zenor took over the reins of the department the second semester of this year. PHYSICAL SCIENCE Science is one of the leading fields in America today. It is of particular importance in the fields of industry and medicine. Last year two new courses, earth science and space science, were added to the program. Washington has kept in step with the progress of science by offering a larger variety of courses. This year an advanced physics course was added to the curriculum. Completing the program are several courses in biology, physics, physical sci- ence, and chemistry.
