Modern Linguists Endeavor to Master Foreign Tongues Drill on Latin verb conjugation is abso- lutely necessary in acquiring knowledge of the language. .na 'C-?' .gf The mimeograph machine is faithful to its duties even when Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, who 'hates those machines anyway runs off Latin test. Language students may receive credit in Latin, Spanish. and French. ln all these areas attention is given to building vocabulary, mastering grammar and explaining customs of foreign lands. French and Spanish stu- dents are particularly fortunate in hav- ing a language laboratory for use in improving conversation abilities. The newest innovation, a language con- versation lab is helping French and Spanish students correct their own pronunciation. 20 zssi,.X N i g Mrs. Carol Redd.

Mathematics Students Prepare for Future Service Mr. Codner's sixth period Algebra I class is infamous for The slide rule is a new instrument in the math classes. Here it is its rascalry, but his students learn along with the fun they demonstrated in Mrs. Hlleyis room by Jackle Grisham to Claude have. These students donit even seem to he cold. Rumsey and JIIHIIIY Stafford. There's one thing everyone knows about Mr. Eugene Codner. He likes fresh air! However, his Solid Geometry, Trigo- nometry, Plane Geometry, and Algebra students do learn in this chilly environ- ment. At a time when mathematicians are badly needed in todayis world, our teachers offer in- struction in basic skills of mathematics as well as in the more advanced areas. General Mathe- matics, Algebra, Plane Geometry, Trigonometry, and Solid Geometry, all have many interested students learning fundamentals. Mathematic in- struction offered at Oakhaven provides adequate basic, usable knowledge for those who do not plan to pursue its study further, and very good foundation for those who seek further, more ad- vanced understanding of various aspects of math- ematics. Learning to read and interpret graphs is absolutely es- sential in studying mathematics. These students of Mrs. Dawson's try helping each other in their study. Federal funds buy invaluable equipment Mrs. Geraldine Dawson seems glad that used in mathematics instruction by Mrs. she has no more Mathematics and Al Sarah Riley, second year Algebra and gebra classes to teach for the day.

Scientific Knowledge Opens New Vistas and New Horizons Senior Physics students find natural physi- cal laws fascinating in their varied experi- ments. General Science, Biology, Chemis- try, and Physics are offered to stu- dents with particular scientific incli- nations. In each of these, laboratory experiences, as well as class instruc- tion, help students understand the prin- ciples of natural law and phenomena. Because our world needs many well- trained scientists, instructors do their best to contribute young scientists with good foundations. - vcifwvz sq.,-1 Y YW.
