Four years of French, four of Latin, three years of Spanish, and, this year, for the first time, four years of German are offered. Grammar and vocabulary give students a foundation in their languages. Pronunciation is stressed in all classes and classroom discus- sions are carried on almost exclusively in the respective lan- guages. By the third and fourth years,students have achieved enough proficiency in their language to study some of the great literature of the country. Films and tape recordings are also used to further acquaint the student with the lan- guage, This year there has been a new addition to the lan- guage program, the language laboratory. Through all these methods,language teachers help their students achieve the fluency in their respective languages which is the goal of the department.

Students discover a new world through science, and they are study- ing many subiects which no one had heard about twenty-tive years ago. Shaker offers three science courses: biology, chemistry, and physics. PSSC physics is a course which was oflered for the first time this year. This course consists almost entirely ot lab sessions and stresses original thinking. Lab periods, which are an integral part ot every science course, allow students to observe the phenomena about which they have studied. Writing lab reports helps them to interpret observations in a logical scientific manner. Through the study ot science, many students undergo unforgettable experiences such as gluing insects back together, sucking sodium hydroxide through a pipette, and rolling cars oft the physics tables. Atter cz year ot thorough study, a student has a good general background for any further study he will do in this field. UNITING FRIENDLY MOLECULES gives Mr. Lata inner satisfaction.

Mr. Kenyon Cramer Mrs. Rita L. Wachs Mr, D, M, Rhodes Mr, Joseph Szwqjq Increase Understandi During the first few months of the school year, shouts of toy, cheers and boos, loud and boisterous laughter, and pro- found and thoughtful silence came from several of the social studies classrooms. The cause of these reactions was the po- litical rallies. Students re-enacted the great national cam- paigns on a smaller scale and were thus better able to under- stand the greater drama going on around them. ln similar vvays, the social studies courses try to help students under- stand the economic, political, and social conditions of our own and other countries. Modern European history, open this year to juniors, is designed to acquaint students with the histories of the European nations and with international re- lations. This year a world history course was introduced. World survey, economics, and geography are additional courses promoting international understanding. Advanced Placement history is open to those students who are equipped with both the capability and the desire to study American history. Outside reading is stressed and several term papers are required. Through the history courses students analyze the failures and successes of the past in an effort to reveal their relationship to the problems of the present and the future.
