Perhaps at first SPANISH vocab- ularies leave a student feeling mixed up and English diagrams frustrate him, but as time goes on, things change. He dis- covers the similarity between many Span- ish and ENGLISH wordsg sentence frag- ments and diagrams no longer leave him in a daze. Increasing his vocabulary has inestim- able benefits for a student in any class. In giving SPEECHes he can express him- self more effectively. In READING class he may double or triple his reading speed. In Mr. Broadbeck's AMERICAN HISTORY and government class he is better equipped to Write an acceptable term paper. One doesn't have to visit Spain in order to converse in Spanish, en- joy rhythmic Spanish music, or wear a sombrero. He can just join the Spanish Club fpage 46, topy, sponsored by Mrs. Dassenko.

Cience courses challen Oc M an . future doctors, f6ChllICICll1.S'. I of Upon entering Mr. Wilcox's science room one notices the unmistakable odor that accompanies all CHEMISTRY classes. Remember the day someone spilled nitric acid on the table and watched the threatening look on the teacher's face as the guilty student tried to explain why that smoking hole was in the table? And then there are the PHYSICS students who. for the mental gratification of passing the course. work two hours on problems such as this: A rock is dropped over a Vertical cliff. Air temperature is 24.3:C. Pressure is 14.2 lbs in? There is an up- draft of 20 miles per hr. The sound is heard 6.2 sec. later. How tall is the cliff? Mr. Emde's BIOLOGY students have problems too. but a different kind. Theirs include pondering over such subjects as worms: flat worms, round worms, square worms, muscles of the body, etc. -XL!
