English Adviser, German Club Language Department Mastery of another language adds variety to the paths we follow. A foundation may first be laid with Latin; or the student may begin directly to think and speak in French, Spanish, or German. As our comprehension progresses, our reading material becomes more advanced until we are able to enjoy the literature of foreign authors, old and new. We live vicar- iously with the people of other countries through movies and slides. An insight into the culture of our world neighbors may avoid obstacles in today’s troubled times. Clare Coult A.M. Adviser, Cercle Francais, Halls of Ivy Vincenxa Esposito A.B. Adviser, El Circulo Espanol W. Earle Gehman A.B.

The study of great literature opens new directions. Reading provides cultural enrichment and contributes to our understanding of all subjects. Our command of Eng- lish is improved through vocabulary building and writing. Public speaking betters oral interpretation: journalistic training is put to practical use by working on the school publications. The segments of our design are joined through the forms of communication we master in English.

Marlene Glaser and Richard Kruppa show Mr. Parnes that they have prepared their home- work well. Mathematics Department As well as being the tool of all other sciences, mathematics is necessary in business and for ordinary activities performed count- less times every day. After acquiring basic number concepts, we learn to apply them to the solution of problems. Foundations are laid for specialization in advanced science and mathematics. By increasing our knowledge of this subject, we are better able to contribute to the progress of the modern age. Deparfmenf Head Adviser, Mafh Analysis, Senior Mathematics clubs Joseph A.
