BLAINE M.E., Colorado State U.; Mathematics 20 Heads down, everyone. Mathematics Mathematics is taking a more and more important role in the world around us each day. The teachers at PHS are striving to show students the challenge and importance of math. The courses in math offered are General Math, two years of Algebra, Plane Geometry, Unified Geome- try, Trigonometry, and a new course, Mathematics 50, which is on col- lege level. Math not only aids in Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering, but also in daily life. Of the two years of math required to graduate, one must be Algebra. R. L. CLINDANIEL R. W.

FRANCES C. WEST M.Ed., U. of Arkansas; English Oh, no; Randy, they got our picture. Foreign Languages The study of Spanish, Latin, and French gives students a new under- standing of English. In addition, these afford an opportunity for in- creased vocabulary and greater effectiveness in oral and written ex- pression of the language studied.' Latin helps students to understand and appreciate Latin literature and also life of the classical period. Using tapes, recordings, and records, Spanish students quickly adapt to the pronunciation of the Spanish language. Current magazines and newspapers written in Spanish add to the regular material of the class. French students are aided by rec- ords, recordings, newspapers, and magazines. MRS.
