1rough the Study of Foreign Languages. Q cf, DIAS, repeats the voice on the tape as Bob Gilbert students enjoy their day in the lab as a pleasant diversion from Larry Epstein concentrate on a Spanish conversation. These the regular classroom routine. ON A project for Russian class, Pixie Hosmer and Sherry Willis lines from a short story. By writing on the board the Russian as well as English translation, they gain practice in forming the strange characters that make Russian alphabet. In this age filled with international prob- lems and relations people must be able to communicate with the peoples of other countries in their native tongue. Equally es- sential is a basic knowledge of the culture,- economics, politics, and regional customs of these countries. Central's language depart- ment, which includes four years of Latin, French, and Spanish, and two years of Rus- sian, prepares Centralities to take an active part in such relations. Latin not only teaches the history of the Roman Empire, but also provides the background for the study of the romantic languages. Modern language stu- dents attempt to understand the current world situations and master the grammar and literature of today's most prominent lan- guages. The merger of classroom study with lab- oratory work provides Central students with the newest techniques of language studies. 27

AH! MAIL FOR MLLE. Enthu- siastically sorting through the mail, Margaret Warr finds that the first issue of her Pfirir Mazda has arriv- ed. To keep up with the current events in France as well as to prac- tice reading in a foreign language, many French students subscribe to magazines which correspond to our Look and Life.

Reasoning Power ls THIS IS LIKE a connect-the-dots puzzle in childrens' magazines. As Judy Cohen gains practice in plotting lines on a graph, she finds this type of algebra problem easier. Developed Through the In past years, mathematical study con- sisted of being able to add two and two and arrive at an answer of four. Today not only is the study of math more complicated and widely acclaimed, but also it is the backbone of the physical sciences. Universally ac- cepted as one of the most promising fields, math is opening vast new areas in carer Also, the study of mathematics helps to cul- tivate logical and analytical thinking which is helpful in solving the problems of daily life. Centralites may take unified geornetr and second-year algebra for a basic under- standing of mathematics. Students can in- crease their mathematical knowledge by tak- ing an excellent course in trigonometry an advanced algebra, while the course in cal- culus and analytic geometry gives the student a head start in college work. Since the fiel of' mathematics is becoming more importan daily, Central has expanded its math pro gram to keep up with the times. NOW DO YOU think you understand? asks Mr. Pennington Larry Meek carefully observes so he can work similar problems after helping Neal Conner to solve a difficult calculus problem.
