By the use of textbooks and records the student becomes acquainted with the language itself. Through outside reading about the customs, habits, country, and cul- ture of the people where his language is spoken, through making Latin maps and scrolls, joining French club, singing songs in German, and talking to people who have lived or visited in Spain, the student is able to form an impression of what the people are like. By the end of his study of foreign language, the student obtains a knowledge of Latin, French, Spanish, or German, and an insight into the people who speak the language which he has studied.

He is one who understands and appreciates his social and cultural heri- tage, who realizes that our democratic institutions have not been easily achieved and must be actively defended today and tomorrow, who is well-in- formed about contemporary historical events, and who is aware of his respon- sibility in our interdependent world. He is prepared for wise leadership or fol- lowership according to his own talents and desires. Our social studies depart- ment attempts to help each student to become a socially competent individual.

The most important aim of our science department is to give each student an understanding of the physical and biological factors of our environment and an appreciation of modern technology and its influence on our lives. We suggest that everyone stand back.
