Students donning earmuffs and composing their own study tapes enlivened already lively foreign language classes. Using the new tape recorder and microphone sys- tem, Mrs. Pyne and Mr. Wight led us through newly prepared and issued material. From room two twelve floated parts of Cicero's ora- tion against Catiline, spoken by our first Latin III class, sometimes augmented by our Latin II classes and Cae- sar's Gallic Wars.

From ninth-grade Civics to twelfth-grade Problems of Democracy, with the intriguing U. S. and World history, world and economic geography in between, we explored old and new ideas. These classes taught by our dedicated social studies faculty provided the background for our more factual understanding of both internal and international affairs. To supplement'the basic course, we saw many interesting and lively films. We spent the year learning about our country and about many foreign countries. New bulletin boards are quickly filled by this hard-working trio. 'xt XA f fahvsk K I' i 7 f N X Q-JK' .. V, XE? ,rift - sf p F Students observe new states in a new classroom
