MISS SANDRA HALL CAPEZIO Spanish Il, BA.-Paniana latin 1, II, III, IV, BA., College NI.Flrl.-Loyola College, Spon- sor Latin Club Language is that necessary element which enahles all societies to communicate. It is the instrument which unites all peoples of the world and allows a better understanding of different culturesg it con- nects the past histories with the present and permits the present to forecast the future. Knowledge of a variety of languages will hetter acquaint an in- dividual with various civilizations. Furthermore, it will enable him to compare his own behavior and attitudes with those of other eul- tures. Overlezfs foreign language department allows the students to in- crease their linguistic ahilities. It offers the two romance languages. Fr:-ncli and Spanish, and their mother language, Latin. The technique of teaching these languages is hased upon oral ex- pression and comprehension. These skills are especially stressed in the fourth and newly offered fifth years of French and Spanish.

Systematically observing, studying, and experiment- ing, Overlea students gain a solid foundation in bi- ology, chemistry, and physics. The science department gives individuals opportunity and the incentive to en- joy science. Biology is designed to awaken the student to the miracle of life through laboratory, experimentation, out door observation and research projects. The intricacies of electron configuration and the baffling molecular structures are dealt with in-chem- istry. Under the patient direction of the teacher a new world is opened for the student. Students who wish to explore the motion of planets and calculate the infinitesimal size of a molecule find that physics gives them this chance. For those wishing an applied science course there is physical science. In this class students use scientific principles to analyze everyday occurrences. MR. C. HAVEN KOLB JR.
