CH ' . . ,f 'f Pie- xm- Sandy Robbins listens to tape. With new inventions in science making every nation our neighbor, the ability to express oneself in a foreign language is becoming more and more important. The knowledge of a foreign language is no longer a sign of a well-educated person, but it has become an intricate part of our modern society. Before the world can have peace, man must be able to understand not only the language of other people, but also their way of life. The language de- partment under Mrs. Genevieve Shrum strives to fulfill both of these needs. Although the department's first ob- jective is to reach the communication of the foreign lan- guages, it also includes a program of the study of the for- eign countries and their people. Twice every week, each class goes to the language lab where each student has the opportunity to hear himself compared to a native.

Mr. Don Williams, the department head, runs a tight ship. There are many opportunities for all students. From the important voca- tional aspects of the business math courses to the college preparatory courses, the entire department strives to stim- ulate and guide the students' inquiring minds. The de- partment's main objective is to increase the understanding of the world of numbers. Although an understanding of numbers may not appear to be very important in the eyes of a teen-ager, the day will come when numbers become an intricate part of their lives. A study in any mathematics helps to develop the art of thinking and reasoning logically. This an is important to anyone who wishes to be successful in life. Besides the work with numbers, the mathematics department strives to build a basic background in the his- tory of math and its greatest men. xxx 1...-Q Q' 'ilxffet N5 i i , T -ii il 9,M.,,,, N I .
