WORLD LANGUAGES The language department made a progressive step this year with the addition of the electric language laboratory in the new wing of the school. The laboratory is divided into booths, each furnished with ear phones through which Latin, German, French, and Spanish students learn foreign languages. Students may listen to tapes, records, or the teachers and may practice speaking the language by making tapes themselves. While one class uses the laboratory, others learn vocabulary and grammar in regular classes. Language students are able to display their learning by entering state and national contests in the foreign language fields. Each language group works with an active club which centers activities around the customs and habits of a particular nation. Mr . Rom find time after school to “aqua her plants. 18

SCIENCE PROJECTS The science department is enjoying the added facilities of the new wing at H.H.S. All chemistry classes moved into the new rooms about the first of the year. Here chemistry students have ample room and equipment for experimentation. Another distinctive aspect of science at Hopkins is the observatory. Few schools in the country have access to the technical equipment available to Hopkins students. The Astronomy Club, under the direction of Mr. Sautcr. spends many nights studying the stars and planets. Mr. Sauter is responsible for the equipment in the observatory, as he built nearly all of it without assistance. Physical science classes also spend a few evenings observing the stars and learning to use the equipment. In addition to chemistry and physical science, our science curriculum offers a general biological study and a course in the principles of physics. Mr. Hcancr approves a newly arrived film for the Audio-Visual Department. 17

PREPARATION IN BUSINESS FIELDS The demand for business instruction required the addition of two new teachers to the business department this year. The business department now is able to offer at least ten courses ranging from personal typing to vocational training. Students not only study in the classroom but also take field trips to observe theory in practice. Our future secretaries observed office practices at both Prudential Insurance Company and the University of Minnesota. Some students, participating in the vocational training program, attend classes half a day and work half a day. These students gain experience and have a full time job opening prepared for them when they graduate. Students may also learn business practices in extracurricular activities. Many girls belong to the Future Secretaries of America, a newly-formed club. In the club, they learn of job opportunities and pay scales and compare notes with others entering the same field. .Mrs. Shanus puls in extra lime preparing for the Homecoming Variety Show. 19
