Interpreted Maupassant, Spoke Another Tongue Fluently Rome and her citizens were brought to life through the study of Latin. First year Latin set the stage with vocabulary and grammar, while second year studies included selective reading from Caesar ' s Commentaries on the Gallic War. Third and fourth year pupils translated Cicero ' s letters, speeches, and views, and Virgil ' s epic poem, the Aeneid. In addition to the classical language of Latin, the department offered two modern languages, French and Spanish. French students memorized phrases, vocabulary, and essential grammar. Employing the information learned in French I and II, students read plays, novels, short stories, and newspapers in advanced French. Colorful customs of Spain were explored by North Side Spanish pupils. Oral work was emphasized all four years. Vocabulary and sentence structure, student ' s tools in any language, were stressed in the first two years. Third year Spanish students utilized conversational texts and Spanish-printed publications, while the fourth year pupils made extensive use of idioms of the language and studied contem- porary Latin American literature. $pam e: VIOAD nd year Latin students check their 21

Scientists, Mathematicians Probed, Pried for Solutions Science courses, biology, botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, and earth science, were varied to offer something of interest to every student. All courses were taught with the idea of diligent practice and repeated experimentation and incorporated bookwork. The book- work and laboratory work was found in the texts and in the new laboratories respectively. Rooms 230 and 232, old history classrooms, were transformed into one large classroom with lab facilities. This new lab aided greatly by providing additional space. New equipment, mineral testing equipment and ripple tanks for wave study assisted teachers in chemistry, physics, and earth science classes, while a new polaroid camera aided all science classes. It continually snapped pictures which were saved and studied at a later date. The camera was used for checking equipment at the year ' s close. Insect collections, radiation experiments, and class demonstra- tions were special projects by students. These projects were com- pleted over a period of time, such as the insect collections extended from the beginning of one semester to the conclusion of that same semester. Occupying a great deal of time and requiring a lot of stu- dious work, the projects deepened and widened a student ' s knowl- edge in a particular phase of the subject. In many instances these extra projects helped a student decide if science was the chosen profession for him.
