Language Lab Aids Studying The Foreign Language department of- fers a choice of two subjects--French and German. The well-equipped language laboratory has enabled the students to hear the language they're studying as spoken by native people. This is possible through the use of tapes and records which can be heard by individual sets of earphones. This department is under the direction of Mr. Herb Gerke. German IV student, Jan Fryar, listens to a tape to aid her in understanding what she reads. French I students read along with their books in re- sponse to the questions heard on a tape. Sally Grieger and Donna Crites point out the spot in Germany they are presently studying. 23

y Scientific Stud The Science department is designed to provide each student with a basic back- ground in general science . The Physical Science course prepares the student for Chemistry and other science classes. Biology I and II specializes in the study of living organisms. Chemistry and Phy- sics offer advanced studies for those students planning to further their educa- tion after high school. A new requirement has been added this year in the Chemistry and Physics classes. Each student is required to wear protective glasses for the purpose of in- creasing safety while working with chem- icals in the laboratory.
