MR. DONALD R. CLARK Head MRS. MARY W. HALLY MR. FRANK C. LEACH Lan uage Foreign language learning has become a matter of national interest and concern, the most compelling evidence of which was the enactment by Congress of the National Defense Education Act in the summer of 1958 and the Com- missioner of Education Act in the summer of 1958. The Commissioner of Education has been authorized to conduct research on more effective methods of teaching modern foreign languages and to develop specialized materials for use in such training. While the basic objective of Latin is reading Latin literature, that of the modern foreign languages today is communication - in all its forms. This is where our new language laboratory comes to our aid. Tapes and discs provide opportunity for pupils to hear a variety of native voices F- men's, women's, and children's - at varying speeds. Each syllable of the foreign language is clearly heard through the headsets. With the laboratory, learning concentrates on ear training - how it sounds rather than what it looks like. After all, we do listen and talk much more than we read and write. .v ' f' fish, Fw,,:H2.if-f-f::x's:rtfEi?f.sefew- 1.21.,iff25:-fis'a,r:,a,5f!s-:ri:'.:ii 'fri'-,Q W it SQ- g'2.'5:i4iig5i?m iA4:':i J ,, - . :5,':g:'s:,ae-ssgjm rf, ' V-925+ w,-fz :f:'. . ,r:f1 -sian., fig. -: --, '..:.-fir . iff- -I sw sigfhfa .S fr -A .- ,. .Q 53- i, 1 Ze 5 i t S, , ' 1-- . , ,Qf,9?ff:, - -- ' 1, iv aa : .fa . -:- . .. ,V -1' K , 3 . ar NWS 999969- A fr . ., ,. -if - H .fS.

MR. GEORGE SWANSON Head Practical Arts The Practical Arts Department provides instruction for pupils interested in drafting, metal working, wood working, ceramics, plastics, electronics, printing, and photography. These opportunities enable pupils to get first hand knowledge of industrial skills, shop management, safe working pro- cedures, working together as a group, solving mechanical problems, good industrial work habits, respect for power machines, and shop maintenance. Drafting students were taught the skills of blue print reading, construction of working drawings, and related shop information. All students learned some practical applications of mathematics and science, the degree of quality and quantity demanded of industry, and respect for each other's privileges and responsibilities. All of these items can be carried over into later life and be of invaluable service to a young person upon leaving high school. MR. MARINUS I-IEUSEVELDT MR. ROYAL HILL MR. LEE F. PI-IELAN MR.
