Either college preparatory or United States history, which are designed to give an understanding of America's own back- ground, is compulsory for all seniors. In addition to these courses, students may study world history, sociology, political science, modern life, Civics, and current history. Psychology, a one-semester course which is open to all juniors and seniors, was offered for the first time this year. Its purpose is to give students a broader appreciation of some of the areas of human living and a better understanding of how and why human beings behave as they do. Top Riglafx M. M. Finrlad and E.

MODER LA GUAGE THE LINGUISTIC INTERESTS of the world are tending more and more toward modern languagesg French, German, Italian, and Spanish are drawing increas- ingly higher enrolments as people real- ize the future importance of modern languages. Keeping in step with the advance- ments currently being made in these lan- guages, Proviso's modern language fac- ulty has introduced new methods of teaching and new subject material into the coursesg War French and War Span' ish are two of these innovations. The trends in these languages are definitely toward practical usage. Some of the highlights of the modern language classes are the studies of the customs, histories, and numerous festivi- ties of the countries whose languages are taught. The study of these features of other countries arises from the theory that, to understand a language, one must understand its people. Advanced classes in these languages are arranged when- ever there is suthcient student demand for them. Thus the modern language department of Proviso strives to prepare its students for better understanding of foreign coun- tries. A'li.i1r Ii. lylfflidllli and Mir!

Its importance today is even greater. Art enriches other courses as well as general reading. Interesting hob- bies and many specialized types of work may be developed in art. One of the busiest departments in school is the art department. Students and faculty sponsors seek its aid for class plays. band and orchestra concerts, publicity work, publications, conferences, and numerous other activities. The preparation of students to undertake the continuous demands for art skills in many projects throughout the entire year is given in the following courses: art I, stagecraft, and commerial art. Under the capable and inspiring guidance of Miss Wihelmina Marm and Miss Marion Dodderer, the various undertakings progress rapidly. The fundamental prin- ciples of design and composition, knowledge of color and how to create harmonies, and appreciation and understanding of great works of art in many helds are a few of the units studied which help the students to master skills and techniques, and to develop creative ability. A Practicing these skills and abilities, the art classes up in the north end of the building are busily at work all hours of the day adding to their growing and varied list of activities. To the student and visitor the studios present a striking array of diversihed projects which give proof of the great range of interests covered by the courses. .. Sqv.
