Study of Languages Of the two foreign languages offered, Spanish is the most widely attended. Classes in Spanish I had the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the language and to use the earphones. Spanish II classes enjoyed speaking a foreign language and participating in games in which they used Spanish money, pesos. In the Latin classroom with the teaching methods of Mrs. Nancy Wagner, the students in both years had different projects which helped them make the learning of Latin more meaningful. English students enjoyed studying on outside material ranging from Shakespeare for the Seniors to Paul Bunyon in the seventh grade. The Junior and Senior courses also had the task of term papers during the second semester. Regardless of the language, students learned to change ideas from one language to another while improving their English grammar and composition.

Hauser’s Mathematicians Discover Students at Hauser because of all the different math classes available had a chance to further their minds in the art of working with numbers. In their classes they were challenged, baffled, and thoroughly mixed up but as always the math students showed their ability and came through at the end of school feeling like scholars. Jr. High math taught Hauser’s young math scholars the basics of math. The Sr. High offered Algebra I, Geometry I, Algebra II, and Senior Math for the more ambitious students. Also it was possible to take Business Math and General Math for enlightening the practical mind. Mr. Tim Cooper, teaching Algebra I and II and General Math, was the only new teacher hired in the Math Department. The following quote is representative of most students’ feelings about math. They may like the subject and understand it but there always seems to be something that’s too deep. Winston Churchill expressed their frustrations in his own words. “I had a feeling once about Mathematics that I saw it all. Depth beyond Depth was revealed to me ... a quantity passing through infinity and changing its sign from plus to minus. I saw exactly how it happened and why . . . but it was after dinner and I let it go.”
