French student Ann Richmond sighs longingly at one of Mr. Story's air- line posters. Barbara Bishop hands in a map of Spain to Miss Cook. Language Students Stud Wri Buenos dias, seiorf '4Bonjour, madamef' or Salve, magisteri' are only a few of the sounds heard daily from the foreign language classes. Three years of French and four years of Latin and Spanish constitute the courses in this depart- ment open to Hi Park students. Grammar, vocah- ulary, and pronunciation are stressed in the first two years, while reading and translation are emphasized in the advanced classes. French pupils learn about the people and customs of France through regular class work, writing to French pen pals, and reading news- papers and novels. Analysis of life in Spain, Mexico, South America, and our own Southwest is made by Hi Park Spaniards.7' Creating of maps and special projects are also a part of this course. Further interest is added in some of the ad- vanced classes when, after the class completes a story, the tale is dramatized. Latin scholars read from Caesar, Cicero, Ver- gil, and other Roman authors. Skits and special programs are presented at meetings of the Latin Cluh, a group composed of third and fourth year pupils. Miss Hardin, Mrs. Pipes, and Mr. Jarrett enjoy themselves at the homemaking tea honoring foreign students.

Jim Tatum buys algebra necessities from Mr. Dabney. Mr. Evans points out the hair line on the slide rule to Heather Simon and Andy Small, members of the slide rule class. Math Department Four and a Half Years of Math Offered Sighs of relief and despair are marks of the Hi Park math student as he labors industriously over various types of math problems. A Scot mathematician must complete two years of algebra in which he studies ratio, proportion, arithmetic and geometric progressions, equa- tions, and the quadractic formula. Plane geometry, also a required course, investigates the relations, properties, and measurements of plane surfaces, lines, and angles. The pupil wishing to further his arithmetical knowl- edge enrolls in solid geometry and trigonometry. Solid,' stresses the ability to think in a third dimension, while in trig classes identities, inverse functions, complex numbers, equations, logarithmic tables, and the functions of angles are studied. Math 8x, Hi Parkis advanced math course, is open to seniors who have completed usolidn and are enrolled in or have completed trig. It includes a review of high school algebra and advanced topics of college algebra. lt gives the student an introduction to calculus and analytic geometry. Meeting every day during activities period for one semester is a class open to students interested in the use and application of the slide rule. Mr. Wisseman daydreams while class struggles through test. 2I
