Language laboratories aid the student through listening to dialogue recordings. By using the master earphones, the teacher may hear each indi- vidual student recite the lesson and check for correct annuncia- tion. Mrs. E Barron. B.A. French Talent Assembly Mrs. M. Chambers. M.A. Latin Junior-Senior Prom Mr. II Dyck. M.A German German Club Language Dept. Adds Revised German Course Learning German by the constant hearing and seeing method was a new experience for Southeast German students. In the renovated course, students employed only a book of pictures and no communica- tion except in the German language to further their knowledge of vocabulary and usage. No written exam- inations were given. Until the completion of construction of new foreign language laboratories and classrooms, half of the cur- riculum of the department took place in the Curtis Junior High School building. All German and Spanish classes were conducted in Curtis, but after construc- tion has terminated, the classes will be taught in the new wing. Latin and French courses were taught in the Southeast building in F. C. and B halls. Each year the National Foreign Language League has sponsored a study trip to Europe. European un- iversities opened their doors to American students who studied the native lore and language of the coun- try. Mrs II ilageman. A.B. French. French Club Courtesy Committee Mrs. H.

Math Classes Crowded; Mrs. W Bozarth. M.A Dept. Staff Increased Mathematics 1 Mrs. Wilma Bozarth grades daily papers of her Algebra I class while students take a test. Classes arc conducted at Curtis due to overcrowded conditions at Southeast. Mr R Herdt. B.S. Mathematics Pep Club Crowded conditions were evident in the mathemat- ics department as most classes swelled to approxi- mately thirty-five students. Three Algebra II classes were added to the curriculum in order to handle the fluctuating number of math students. Increasing the number of math teachers last year from seven to this year's eight. Mr. Robert Herdt and Mr. Dennis Sherman joined the department staff. During their years in high school, all students took at least one course in mathematics, as one unit of math was required for graduation. Since most col- leges demand two or more units of credit, equations and theorems became familiar topics of conversation. Students took advantage of business mathematics, principles of mathematics, triginometry. and analytic geometry classes, and several students commuted from Southeast to East High School for calculus courses which were not offered at Southeast.
