ENGLISH Writing and speaking the English language correctly are invaluable assets to all Ameri- cans. A good command of the language will pay off in self-satisfaction and ability to make ourselves understood. A good English course will help the student to become more proficient in writing and speaking and more interested in reading. Madison Downing Lavonna Martin Ruth Henning FOREIGN LANGUAGE The foreign language department of Lakin High School is headed by Mr. Lawrence Miller. The two languages offered are Spanish and French. These courses are offered for 'those students who plan to make a vocation on lan- guage arts, and also to prepare people for sit- uations in which they might need to communi- cate in another language.

SCIENCE The general purpose of science is an appreciation of the subject and particularly, scientific investigation through laboratory experimentation. The student must be taught the basic scientific facts which would enable him to become a better informed member of society. The teacher must prepare the student for a successful completion of a college educa- tion leading to a scientific career, and the teacher must try to encourage the student to attempt to pursue scientific careers. Eldon Gilbert Roger Butler MATH EMAT IC S In our technological age, our aim is to offer a program in mathematics that will allow each student to develop mathematically to the maximum of his native ability. Although many students today expect to attend college, our basic curriculum is for the non-college bound as well as for those who will attend col- lege. We believe that our junior and senior mathematics program will prepare a person for college analytic geometry and calculus. Marlin Krehbiel Roger Butler
