Para manana, Vamos A Escribirf' 1' If 'f Q, ya. , ' uv 4 ' 4' s ,,,,f, JOHN R. GROMELSKI Latin 1,2,3,4 BETTY KOENIC, Chairman Spanish 1,2 In this modern world of rapid air travel, U. N. membership, international commerce, and extensive tourist trade, America needs citizens with a knowledge of at least one language other than our own. Language study should include study not only of linguistic skills but also of the way in which the people live. This also aplies to the ancient languages, such as Latin, since western civilization had its origin in the ancient world. Thus modern language study will enable Americans to meet more effi- ciently our world responsibilities, and it will also broaden our general education so that we may appreciate other people's con- tributions to culture in the fields of literature, art, music, history, and science.

MATHE TIC Every year in his high school career, the student has to decide whether he wants to take mathematics. Before he does, he should realize that besides factual knowledge, mathema- tics will teach him perserverance and discipline in working and reasoning. Highland Park High School is trying to improve the cour- ses offered. Next summer as part of a national experiment, a pilot group of entering freshmen will take a special course at Rutgers for three weeks which will present Algebra in a new light. The school hopes to have the students continue under this new method throughout their high school careers. If the Rutgers experiment doesn't work out, a program which would enable good students to take college mathematics in their senior year may be instituted. Through the Trigonometry, Geometry, Algebra, General Mathematics, and Industrial Mathematics courses already offered and the new ones planned, any student should be able to graduate with a good background for whatever he wants to do.
