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.

Mr. Crabb poses with his pal, Mr. Bones, who is a victim of malnutrition. Grasshoppers, leaves, compounds, molecules, heat, and electricity-all compose a part of Hi Parkas science department. Biology, chemistry, and physics are the classes offered to Scots. Biology is open to sophomores and juniors, it deals with the fundamental facts and laws of living or- ganisms. Students toting butterfly nets are not an uncommon sight since each pupil is required to make an insect collection in Biology 1. While the first semester concentrates mainly on simple and lower forms of life, the second half encompasses the plant kingdom and the human body and its functions. Chemistry includes a study of elements, compounds, atoms, molecules, oxidation, and reduction. Lab work is an important part of chemistry as the student con- ducts his own experiments to test the theories behind various ideas. Some phases of organic chemistry and qualitative analysis are also touched upon. For Scots considering engineering as a vocation, physics is a Hmustf, Experimenting with mechanics, heat, sound, lights, and electricity constitutes a major portion of the course. Dynamics, gravitation, and radiation are also explored. Mrs. Carolyn Christopher, a stu- dent teacher, helps Ben Kerr with his chemistry. John Bourland slave lahoriously on a physics experiment.
