Over sixty percent of our English words come from Latin and these are the more difficult words needed for college work and the professions such as medicine, law and the sciences. Latin can give the roots and prefixes and the practice of figuring out the meaning of many English words, thus increasing the students' vocabulary. Latin also provides the back- ground of our political institutions, legal system and its terminology, our philosophy, literature and social organization. It gives also an understanding of mythology that has influenced our language, art and literature. The study of Latin is an enrich- ing experience. -John Cavers

Science Department faces numerous problems It seems that all schools are facing problems these days. For instance, class sizes, budgets, and contoversies over student achieve- ment scores. While Saratoga High is by no means immune to many of these, it probably faces them better than most. Teaching science has been re- warding for me. It has allowed me to be involved in something I find in- teresting and enjoyable. -Les Kishler The biggest problem facing the science department are class size and money to run the programs. Our biology and chemistry rooms are designed for a maximum number of 28 students, Cideally 243 with 30 or more per class, it becomes in- creasingly difficult to run labs. Also, the safety factor becomes a problem. With skyrocketing costs for supplies and equipment, our department budget is not keeping pace. It also become difficult to now plan for additional courses offerings such as astronomy. -Norman Wild OPPOSITE PAGE, TOP: Bill Newman, Science, Physics.
