Three years of Latin are offered and three years of Spanish. Students gain an appreciation of the lives, customs, and language of the people of ancient days in the one, or of the other, people of the Ameri- cas or Spain today. It is by study and understanding of the ways of life of other people that we begin to develop a better appreciation of our own way of life. At Le Roy Central School, our science offerings are General Science, Health, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. These courses are taught to give the students the basic principles of scientific study. On the foundation of these studies can be erected the super- structures of many professions and careers. However, the primary thought of this work is to bring science into a closer relationship with each of our everyday lives. Book learning and practical laboratory application join to form the scientific team. This team can aid in fitting each of us for more useful lives, in this present scientific age.

Literature, creative expression, both oral 3l1Cl written, and the funda- mental language habits and skills combine to form the foundation for the English courses. Classroom reading, supplemented by the students' choice of reading matter, is designed for enjoyment and appreciation. Through literature is developed a line understanding of the ideals of living in a democratic society. Through the medium of creative expression, students are encouraged to share their views and talents, several of them having their poems pub- lished in the National High School Poetry Anthology and other magazines. Participation in the XVI-IEC junior Town Meeting of the Air, and the XVBEN Radio Forum, as well as-classroom discussions, provide abundant opportunity for self expression. To express themselves clearly and vividly, the students are taught correct and effective sentence construction, and extraction of thought' from the printed page.

Lam renee Lulversity Fri-sliumu, Senior Social Studies Mathematics is a very old science. Its beginnings go back to the dawn of human history. lt owes its origin to the fact that at all times people found it necessary to count and to measure. These processes developed naturally in connection with the most common everyday activities. To this day, mathematics has continued to be a very live, constantly growing science. This remarkable growth is due to the fact that, like language, mathematics is of universal importance. The more mathematics contributes to the development of other sciences, the more dependent upon it they become. It is a recognized fact that- Mathematics is the Key and Applied Mathematics is the Tool whereby Man Conquers the Universe. In the Freshman and Senior Social Studies, students learn about them- selves and the adjustments necessary to successful living in a democracy. Freshmen study the essential contributions of the home, church, community, nation and world to the economic, political and social needs of all people. Seniors seek an adult understanding of some of the problems that challenge the individual, family, community, nation and the world. Le Roy Central School Page 13
