International House is actively involved not only in the events of Paramus High School, but with those of the outside world as well. This year the Foreign Language department, under the guidance of Mrs. Amelia DeLauro, has offered a multitude of diverse and unique opportunities to its students. Among these are theater trips, independent study programs, and foreign exchange students, who, as guest speakers, enlighten the class members with first hand accounts of the culture and history of their countries. These experiences provide an excellent supplement to the regular curriculum. Generally the curriculum involves learning the fundamentals of a language, a study of its literature, and an introduction to the culture of the countries where the language is the native tongue. Presenting a comprehensive selction of languages, viz., Latin, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Hebrew, the Foreign Language department is helping to mold individuals who may some day help to increase communication throughout the world.

Media Center ... Maintaining Multiple Materials Mrs. Betty Kramer Librarian Serving as a store-house of knowledge for Paramus High School, the Media Center, formerly the Library, contains materials covering a wide range of human experience. Here a student can research a paper with the various reference materials, thumb through a large slection if magazines, or just relax and read one of the thousands of books. This year a copy machine was added to the Media Center ' s resources. In order to enable students to take fuller advantage of these resources, the Media Center is now open Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Mrs. Kramer and Mr. DeFilippo and their assis¬ tants, Mrs. Zeisler and Mrs. Nemeth, are always ready to help students in their pursuit of increasing their fund of knowledge. In addition, in Room 201, now known as part of the Media Center, Mr. John Morhrhardt coordinates the non-print media and equipment for the teachers and students of Paramus High School. Assisting him is Mrs. Rose Nemeth, the media secretary.
