French; M.S.C.W., A.B.; French Club Oral foreign language practices stream out of the language laboratory which has been installed to teach students of French. German, and Spanish the spoken word more effectively. The laboratory makes the use of audio-lingual materials possible in lan- guage courses. Latin is offered for four years and affords students an opportunity to learn about this ancient language and the Mediterranean civiliza- tions from which our own culture has originated. The four language organizations introduce pupils to the customs of the country whose language is being studied. 25

And Concentration Prevails MISS SANDRA SUE MURRAY, Plane Gcom- elry, Algebra, General Math; Southeastern Louisi- ana College, B.S., Florida State U.; Future Teachers of America MISS MILDRED PANKEY, Algebra, General Math; Birmingham Southern, B.A., U. of Ala- bama, M.

JOSEPHINE WILKINS, Algebra, Plane Geometry, Trigonometry and Solid Geometry; M.S.C.W., B.A., U. of North Carolina, M.A. Math has become one of the most essential courses to students in modern day education. Only sounds of concentration can be heard in the math building. Unbroken silence of deep attention is detectable in trigonometry or a new college course of Algebra III. Clicking of chalk on the blackboard can be heard in a combined course of plane and solid geometry, available here for the first time this year. Compasses rotate while protractors squeak in classes of Algebra I. II. and arithemetic. Mr. McCann corrects papers while his trig- onometry class takes a test. Miss Gunter assists a student in proving that two triangles arc congruent. 27
