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.

Probing into the secrets of nature and the universe, science students are faced with new challenges every- day. To the science student, biology, physics, and chemistry are a collec- tion of unusual experiences. The doors to hundreds of different areas in this broad field are flung open as the searching mind learns more and more about the astounding phe- nomena of life and the things sur- rounding it. Each year there lurks the danger that chemistry students in 'their darling black aprons will blow up the school. Exploring the different phyla of plant and animal life and their relative make-up is one of many activities of biology students. The bio- work. logy labs are easily recognized by the unforgettable smell of formalde- hyde. Physics offersarealchallenge to students who want to advance further into the study of matter and energy. The physics student becomes more skilled not only as a physicist, but as an artist as he draws canopen- ers and water tanks. Included in Harding's well-rounded, science cur- riculum is the D-program, in which students who show exceptional scien- tific ability are grouped into accel- erated classes. Although certain as- pects of these subiects may seem ri- diculous at times, they are the key to the future discoveries which will af- feat all of our lives.
