Fulfilling this basis are new facilities and a wide selection of courses offered by the Mathematics department. This year a new study center opened providing students with a place to do their homework. Tutoring and remedial work are done in this center; serving also as a computer terminal, students may take mini-courses on computer programming. One may have an introduction to the computer in seven lessons, after school, or during his or her study period. For the student who wants to pursue an area further, the center is the place to do independent studies. Books and a multitude of other mathe¬ matical materials are available for research. Extra help is also available every period. It is evident that this new addition to the math department is a beneficial one for all. Preparing students for the future are a variety of courses, both traditional and innovative. Ranging from Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Business Math to Computer Programming and Probability and Statistics a wide gamut is offered. Every year, Mr. D. Jankelunas’s Mathematics department fulfills the needs of the students and prepares them for the future.

Added to courses offered in Hebrew, Italian, German, French, Latin, and Spanish are Hebrew I and Italian III and IV advanced. In addition, the department now has its own resource center. This place provides remedial and enrichment work, areas for independent study, and a growing library of books, magazines, and records in the different languages. In the first and second year of language study, the areas of grammar and structure are explored. During the third and fourth year, the students are introduced to poems, novels, and plays which are studied in depth. Our community is also used as a cultural resource. Students may become familiar with a country and its customs through their association with community members whose backgrounds may include a country being studied. This year the language department would like to extend a warm welcome to Mrs. Rhena Mermelstein, our new Hebrew teacher. Mrs. Rita C.
