Language Bridges Communication Gap In a world that is rapidly becoming smaller, it is increasingly more important to communicate. Undoubtedly, lack of com- munication is one of the most challenging problems in the world today. To meet the challenge, the language department at M.U.S. has tried to give a student a profound ability to communicate with his fellow man. Under the direction of Mrs. Charles Mosby, the language department has tried to make the student proficient in these areas of a language: writing, speech and reading comprehension. The department has in every sense given a student a broader education by exposing him to other cultures of the world. ' %.

Math Under the watchful eyes of Mr. Perdue, Mathematics at Mem- phis University School sought to present the infinite scope of math to students in such a way as to broaden the students ability to rea- son and think clearly. In preparation for college, most seniors took the Senior Math course which gives them a good base for the study of calculus. The mathematical geniuses were placed in the advanced Calculus course which can give them a college credit. Other seniors were involved in the Independent Study Program which met twice a week and lightly touched on calculus. But one of the most popular math courses in the school was plumber math. These pipe- engineers were taught such basics as addition and subtraction, and eventually the quadratic formula. 24
