AW W? TRAVEL AGENT - Julie Larson points out Paris to Harlyn Trayer while members of the French III class dream about a trip to France. Third-year French course added to school curriculum Because of the increased emphasis on foreign language, French lll was added to the language curriculum this year. Ten students who show a special interest and aptitude in French are enrolled in the course. Maps, films, pictures and records are again be- ing used this year by students to supplement the regular courses of study and further the under- standing of the language. These media also help to acquaint each student with the culture of the country whose language he is studying. Students taking French read La Presse, a French- Canadian newspaper, and the Paris Match, a mag- azine which resembles Lite. Spanish students use a Spanish version of Reader's Digest. Latin students make projects pertaining to Roman history and read selections from Caesar's Com- mentariesf' SENORES AND SENORITAS-Danny Crum, Skip Gooch, Susan Sharpe and Suzie Brown catch up on current events by read- ing Spanish language magazines. oreiqzz mzquaqe GEURGE LOSEN Spanish l, ll, lll FLORENCE FLYNN FRANCES FORSTER Business Arithmetic Latin French l, ll, lll ,f ' '-.5g1'- ia, - nes' ,gil-:-1.:-view stir k S 'iil ii. he -.:,.:.-i - . - . , , mf- k '?- if ,ge Jes , ,,,- l 1. lg,-. si 1' V., s E ,W . srr. 3 - , A, 1-A sm., .., yn,--1 tg sflrqws h Q ......, lgsrstz ' i -4.5461 .MX -A E igfztfir, ici. l I i st

Through the cooperation and efforts of teachers and students, an accelerated program is now being conducted. As a result of this program, specially selected students begin algebra in eighth grade and take a condensed geometry course in tenth. Thus, they may take a year and a half more of high school math than was possible previously. Business arithmetic, beginning, intermediate and advanced algebra, plane, solid and analytical ge- ometry, and trigometry are included in the mathe- matical program of studies. The department is anticipating a change in the senior mathematics course next year. Possibly a phase in modern math- ematics will be offered for study. M Club Mafkemafics - ' i., MAN FROM MARS - Susan Dixon and Dick Swanson admire their class mascot, Tommy Trig. MODERN PYTHAGOREANS - Jean VanHeel, Brad McKeown, Jane Paulsen and Lynn Johnson prove a theorem on the chalkboard.

PRECISE MEASUREMENT - Barry Haskins, John Albrecht, Mary'beth lsensee, Tom Benson and Dick Hayes do a chemistry experiment. New equipment highlights up-to-date physics course A machine demonstrating wave phenomena for students taking the P.S.S.C. CPhysical Science Study Committeel physics course has been acquired by the Physics Department. The machine was devel- oped by the Bell Telephone Laboratories. Two films are available to go along with the course. The principles shcwn by this machine are applied to sound, light and all other electromagnetic radi- ations. This is the second year that P.S.S.C. physics has been available, and more and more apparatus that is needed is being acquired. The science department has also acquired a new spectroscope, costing over SIOO. Also added is a set tor measuring the mass ot the electron, new ripple tanks for studying wave motion and many new pcwer supplies. RIPPLE MAKERS - Sharon Gordon and James Zanios study wave motion by depositing a drop of water in a ripple tank.
