Proiecfs Teach Culture The age of international relation- ships in which we are now living calls urgently for language prepara- tion in the educational program of today. The aims of the French Department are to encourage and E. Cahalan guide students in gaining not only proficiency in the language, but also an understanding of the people and customs of France. The Spanish Department has separated Spanish I students into lingual and bilingual groups. The unilingual group will endeavor to acquire the sounds of Spanishg to aim for a basic vocabulary and use it fluently. Spanish II, not divided, is using a combination of group I and II, but in a more advanced stage. Emphasis tends to be more on grammar than audio. Latin I students study the basis of Latin and grammar, and also study simpler original selections. Latin II students study selections from various Roman writers. K. Loew A. Ruiz B. Soto R.

Trades Aid Stuclenfs Future Today air conditioning and re- frigeration are necessities rather than luxuries in the modern home. McCollum has the course to train boys to install and service these systems. The student is trained in principles of refrigeration compres- sion units, basic electricity and electric motors. Electronics as a career may be started in McCo1lum's course in radio and T. V. repair. The course content is planned to develop skills in basic electricity radio funda- mentals and related subjects in order to plan, build, test and produce electronic equipment. Auto Mechanics will prepare that qualified student for entry into a constantly expanding field of Work. During this course, the stu- dent is trained in the use and care of tools and equipment as well as repair maintenance and service of automotive and similar types of machines.
