The objectives of study- ing Latin, the basis of all the romance languages, are varied: they include the key to mastering English, broadening oneis vocabulary, and studying the rela- tionship of Latin to English. The French, Spanish, and German students not only learned to express them- selves in these modern languages, but also strove to understand and appreciate the ideals and cultures of the countries from which their studied language came. This year all language students benefited by using modern electronic recording and amplifying equip- ment. Pupils achieved proficiency in language by the able assistance of the language department teachers. ,lf wfxzq !

Such classes as Business Arithmetic and Consumer Math taught methods of putting numbers to work in the commercial world, while Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry pre- pared Blairites for mathematical theory in college. Also taught this year were three advanced courses for CPA students. Math II, III, and IV included basic algebra, the geometries and trigonornetry in a three- year program terminating with an introduction to calculus. Students in these mathematics courses hoped to qualify for advanced mathematical standing in college. The training that students of mathematics received in the language of the sciencesi' will bene- fit them in their future occupations and lay the founda- tion for further study.
