anguage is the most astonishing. Lytton Strachey ALPHONSE A. D'ANGELO Club LANGUAGE Southington High School offers its students an enriched and creative language program. It offers instruction in three Romance languages, Spanish, French, and Italiang one classical languagesg Latin, and one Germanic language, German. In an effort to coordinate the language pro- grams of Southington schools, all teachers of languages have participated in a series of con- ferences which have resulted in a comprehensive three year language program. Consequently, stu- dents now are being taught the basic elements of foreign languages in both the seventh and eighth grades and are thoroughly prepared for a more complete study when they enter high school. Not only is this beneficial to the students, because most have never before encountered a foreign language, but also because many stu- dents, upon reaching high school, may delve more deeply into the cultural and artistic ele- ments characteristic of every language. Boston College, A.B., French I, III, Italian I, II, Co-Advisor to the Language Mr. Solomita instructs fl. to rj Dennis Kane and George Guildner in Spanish pronunciation.

zwakens the creativity of man . . . 9' Francis Bacon SCIENCE Southington High School is very fortunate in having a progressive and adaptable science de- partment that keeps pace with the latest develop- ments as well as giving the students a firm base in the unchanging fundamentals of the sciences. The four year science curriculum at Southing- ton High School starts with earth science and general science followed in the next year by biology. As juniors and seniors, the students are offered the lab sciences-chemistry, physics, and advanced biology. Graduates of Southington High are proving in colleges and in professional positions that knowledge gained from these courses is providing scientific talent to meet an ever growing need. MRS.
