The three years of Latin available include one year of grammar and two years of literature. Word derivations. besides the study of Caesar and Vergil. comprise a large part of the course. Reading French legends and folk stories is just a part of the two years in the French curriculum. Students also listen to records and study phonetics. In line with Mi- ami's proximity to Spanish speaking countries and its large number of Spanish speaking resi- dents, the Spanish course is the most extensive in Miami High. The four years' course includes conversational Spanish and outside reading of novels. A study of Spanish culture and customs adds to the interest in these classes, BELOW: Ellis Hirsh and Sandra Lixingstone proxidc real Spanish entertainment for Mrs, Ransom's class, RlLflIl.'

Additions In ath MATH AND PROGRESS walk hand in hand at Miami Senior High School, and this year both took two giant steps forward. A new course, Math Analysis, and a new Math honorary, Mu Alpha Theta, made their appearance in the department. The new course is only one of the large selection of math courses offered by the department. Math courses are divided into three sections: Basic Math, Business Math, and Advanced Math, each catering to students of varied ability. The basic and functional math courses are designed for students who need work in fundamental math. Business and Senior Mathematics furnish a review of arithmetic and application of math to every day problems, in- cluding work with checking accounts, book- keeping, and actual business problems. Ad- vanced math begins with Algebra l and includes Plane Geometry, Algebra Il. Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry. Math Analysis, an advanced study of math, gives seniors interested in speci- alized fields of math an introduction to Ana- lytical Geometry and Calculus. The new hon- orary, Mu Alpha Theta. is a branch of the na- tional math honor society. Charter members at Miami High School were chosen for schol- arship, citizenship, and outstanding work in all advanced math subjects. Miami High proud- ly welcomes these signs of progress within its walls, which add up to a sense of achievement for the year just ended and a feeling of antici- pation for the year ahead.

New cabinets, desks. and equipment gave the classrooms an expectant air as students began, or continued, their study in science. Offering chemistry, physics, and biology, the department, with fourteen teachers, has an enrollment of SOC? of the student body. Throughout the year dilferent informative proj- ects have been sponsored for the science stu- dents and student body as a whole. Dr. Speake of the Moody Institute of Science, presented two assemblies in which he gave a remarkable demonstration of science and electronics. The Air Force, in connection with the science de- partment. brought an Air Force bomber and jet capsule to Miami High to show students the progress of our scientific age. EngIish's biology class.
