an flue fanguage classfwoms Because improved trans- portation and communications have brought all parts of the world into closer contact, the ability to speak two or more languages has become very important. The enrollment of our language classes has steadily increased. The Latin depart- ment offers a third year course to those adept in the ancient tongue. The atmosphere of the classrooms is uniqueg pictures of the customs and life within the countries are beckoning signs. In this set- ting we are impressed not only with the language but also with the ways of life of our foreign neighbors. V in, in -L, .

gn the Hisfofui c assfzooms wo members of Mr. Bird's llth grade history class, Fran Boqon and Betty ri, point out Middle East area while others in the class look on and listen. U. S. history, world history and current events provide Hamilton's students with a complete grasp of the world in which they live. Trips to the U. N. building and Washington made classroom topics real. Students have opportunities for oral and written reports, map work, individual projects and extensive research on current items. For the pupil who really wants a solid background, there are ancient and medieval history courses, and political and economic geography courses. One of Mrs. Nernchik's l2tli grade history students, Ann Karan- dosovski, shows classmates, George Hauser, Marjorie Niedt, Dominic Cavalucci and Roberta Kamrnerer, where to find a news story in a current history magazine.
