XVould you like to add flavor to your everyday vocabu- lary? It can easily be varied with quips and quo- tations from one or more of the three foreign languages offered at Hi Park. Four years of Spanish and Latin are offered and three years of French. The combined enrollment for Spanish, French, and Latin totals over 760 students. The Spanish department has the most pupils although French and Latin are gaining popularity every year. In our language classes Scots are introduced to some of literatures masterpieces such as Ver- gil's Aerzeid. Pronunciation and grammar are stressed by both written practice and oral drill. Students also learn valuable historic facts and daily customs of the country from which their chosen language originally came. In Memoriam: MRS. LAWRENCE ROLLINS Librarian, Teacher of Englirh and Latin june 3, 1956

Twelve outstanding math teachers equal one superior math department. Illustrating the quality of Hi Park's math department are the five Scot vic- tories in the last seven Hockaday mathematics tournaments. High schools are invited from all over Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana to par- ticipate in this tournament, which is only one of the activities in the department's schedule. Each semester diagnostic tests are given to all pupils. The purpose of these tests is to determine student strengths and weaknesses in the math fundamentals. In addition to the regular mathematics courses Math 8X, a specialized course in calculus, analy- tical geometry, and algebra, is offered to those seniors who wish to gain further preparation for college mathematics. 1

Physics ' BUNSEN BURNERS AND FROGS Curiosity killed the cat, but it is the driving force behind Hi Park science students as they seek to uncover the secrets of science and nature. Responding to the urgent national call for scientists, Hi Park trained 575 students in science classes this year. Taking the science spotlight in October was a series of lectures presented by Mr. D. C. Evans from the Oak Ridge Tennessee Laboratories. These lectures explained basic processes behind solar energy, space travel, power reactors and use of isotopes. Outside projects are included in all the science classes. Physicists prepare reports on atomic energy, chemists try their hand at experiments, and biologists are found in the most peculiar places obtaining material for their leaf and in- sect collections.
