Algebra students learn to comprehend numbers-from natural to complex numbers. Geometry deals with the relations, prop- erties, and measurement of solid surfaces, lines, and angles. Students who show ability to accom- plish more than they would in the usual math cur- riculum find a greater challenge in the D-program. ln this course, topics not ordinarily appearing in traditional courses are considered. This advanced math covers everything from trigonometry to an- alytical geometry, and from basic calculus to col- lege algebra. Mathematics presents to the high school students their best opportunity to learn basic logic.

Mr. Sebastian Hernandez uses more than his tongue to demonstrate one of the finer points of the language in his Spanish ll class. Students, Barb Hanenberger and Colleen Dahn ponder their French lesson. Foreign Skills Add International Flavor In the language lab, German ll students record and play back tapes of their lesson of the day. Below, Mr. Knud Zachariasen lectures his German class on the coniugation of verbs. Harding's foreign language department provides students with a choice of four languages-German, French, Spanish, and Latin. As well as the basic fundamentals of these languages, the courses also instruct in the areas of phonetics and general word usage. The goal ofthe department is to teach stu- dents to think, read, write, and speak the language of their choice. Learning a foreign language in- creases a student's vocabulary and helps him to more clearly use his own language. The breaking down of a foreign language to understand and learn it is also the breaking down and understand- ing of English.
