HiSf07Jl mm' Languages promote understandin History blends with speech, Spanish, and French in giving an insight into others' Way of life, past and present. Language and cus- toms are fun to study. Reproducing them may give trouble, but the attempt is most rewarding. Remember that first lost day in a foreign language class? All problems soon work out as we learn the art of speaking fluently and enjoy springing a comment on some poor un- fortunate who has not had the opportunity to receive the value of the language depart- ment. History proves a valuable asset in ex- plaining world conditions that prevail today. It also provides the background for many theatrical productions. Through training in speech, one learns to express his ideas with ease and effectiveness.

Science and mathematics have long been recognized as the basis of our modern civili- zation, therefore these subjects receive spe- cial emphasis. Our laboratory facilities for physics, chemistry, and biology are un- usually good for so small a school. These labs, along with classroom discussion, allow the student to learn and analyze the laws of nature. Since mathematics is the framework of all sciences, a wide selection of courses are offered. These include plane and solid geom- etry, trigonometry, and beginning and ad- vanced algebra. All courses emphasize scien- tific thinking over straight memorization. Our school stresses college preparation and a strong basic foundation, so courses are designed to meet both the general and the specialized needs of the students. Graphs and equations are explained by Mr. Bush to algebra student, Jack Long. Page 16 Resolution of forces draws the attention of phys- ics students, Kenny Wills and Roy Testerman.
