G ' ra mm “Students using the language lab.” LA NG UA GE DEPA R TMENT The Language Department offers courses of in- struction in four years of French, three years of Spanish, and three years of Latin. For the extra benefit of its students, the Lan- guage Department includes in its program a lan- guage laboratory. In the “lab” (as it is known to students), students can listen to tapes of conversa- tions, essays, songs, and quizzes. The student can also tape his own voice and play back the tape to hear his pronunciation. Oh-h Jungle Rot!” The literature of the language is presented to the students through plays read during the year, short stories, and its great novels. Further devel- oping the students background and interest, activi- ties such as Latin Club provide the opportunity to learn about the history and daily life of the people of the language. “C’est la main.”

STANDING: Mr. Sabean. Mr. Schreiber, Mr. Carey, Mr. Haney. SEATED: Mr. Lynch, Department Chairman. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT ‘Bet you wish you had one.” ‘A scientific approach to football. There is always something brewing in the science depart- ment labs. Anything from the preparing of hydrogen to the di- secting of cats goes on. From the basic electricity labs may come the shaking results of success, and from Mr. Haney’s Chemis- try II labs may come anything up to tomorrow’s nuclear weap- ons. Sometimes in approaching the C-5 area, you can very easily “sense” that the scientists of to- morrow are hard at work. Once a year the seniors visit the Museum of Science. The courses offered by the Science Department are: Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry I and II, Physics, Anatomy, Senior Science, and Basic Electricity. “What do you mean you’ve concluded the an- gle of incidence doesn’t equal the angle of reflection!?” “Aah-a-ah — we see you Mr. Sirois!” 18

BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Now would I tell a lie? Mr. Bradley, Miss Dardeno, Mr. Clarkin, Department Chairman, Mrs. Dalton. The Business Department is concerned not only with preparing stu- dents for a business career but also in training them in the knowledge, attitudes, and non-vocational skills needed by all persons to be effec- tive in their personal economics, and in their understanding of our business-economic system. There are three tracks in the Business Curriculum; Secretarial, Ac- counting and Clerical, each having appropriate courses. The business Department also hopes to aid its students develop business-economic literacy and to become intelligent consumers of goods and services. For the past three years the students have had an opportunity to participate, on a selective basis, in a co-operative work experience program in conjunction with the local business community. The Business Department offers the following courses: Typing I, II and personal, typing, shorthand I, nd II, Bookkeeping I and II, Gen- eral Business, Office Practice, Retail and Sales, Business Law Business Management, and Advanced Secretarial Training. “Would a secretary do that?” “Good morning, NorthRead- ing High School, C-9, Mr. Clarkin speaking. May I help you?”
