Murphy's language department is certainly oi.. be commended. It offers four years of Latin, three years of French, and four of Spanish. Numerous stu- dents take Latin in preparation for college, as well as a stable background for the English language. French and Spanish also afford an invaluable knowledge, for not only the fundamentals of grammar and pronunci- ation are taught, but the history and customs of the respective countries, also. The decreasing distances of the countries of the world today are increasing the value of communicating with people of other tongues. This department is managed very well by capable in- structors and Murphians realize the benefit in being offered this advantageous type of study.

In a forward nation such as ours, where the knowl- edge of mathematics is so important, it is only fitting that our schools should prepare the future leaders of our country to meet this challenge. Thus, stress has been placed on the study of math at Murphy. Mur- phy's math department prepares students for college qualification or the pre-college or business world as it offers two years of algebra and one of plane geometry. Solid geometry and trigonometry are also available for those students planning to make their careers - in engineering or similar fields requiring mathematical experience. Even though higher study is necessary for entrance to these fields, these basic courses are adequate for further pursuit. Mrs. W. Reynolds ucation Ih roua concert trail ion Mrs. M.
