GERMAN If students delve into the culture of the country as they harmonize on old Deutsche Lieder. Miss Weeks' antiquated piano adds to the merriment of the moment. Language classes stress communication, culture To insure peace for the future, Americans must be able to communicate with their fellow men around the globe. Salem High School attempts to Fulfill this need by offering three years of modern French, German, and Spanish, as well as two years of Latin. Records, tape recordings, and illustrated foreign magazines aid language teachers in polish- ing accents and stimulating interest in foreign cul- ture. Because the ability to speak foreign tongues with ease is important in today’s world, fluency in speech, as well as mastery of grammar, is stressed. FRENCH I AIDE Fred Naragon supervises Mitzi Garrett as she records her lesson on tape. Movies and phon- ograph records are additional important helpers avail- able to modern language students. TO BE ABLE TO, or not to be able to — that is the question, as Latin II scholar Sue Schmid reviews a familiar conjugation with the help of Mrs. Tarr. 11

 BZZZl That's the reply that solid geometry students Steve Sabof and Lonna Muntz re- ceived when they touched the world's only talking dodec- ahedron. Its proud constructor Steve Chentow grins fondly beside a diagram of its circuit. Mathematicians embark on intellectual adventure The study of mathematics provides not only a useful tool for everyday living, but an adventure in intellectual achievement. Through algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry, students learn a language applied universally in science and engineering, and at the same time are trained in logical reasoning and mental discipline. New self- study materials in calculus and a Minivac computer allow able students to penetrate more deeply into the ever-growing world of mathematics. AFTER-SCHOOL HOURS are spent to good advantage by Joe DeCort, as he learns calculus through use of TEMAC, a self-study program in advanced math. PARALLEL LINES can meet! assert non-Euclidian geometers Susan Anderson and Betsy Heston as they explain curved coordinate systems, such as a basket- ball, to their plane geometry classmates. 12
