As our future bi and tri-linguists have dis- covered, an appreciation of cultural back- grounds is of vital value to language study. An acquaintance with the life and literature of early Rome is commenced in Latin I with the valuable vocabulary and intricate sen- tence structure, is continued in Latin II with Caesar's military tactics, is further developed in Latin III with renowned Ciceronian ora- tions and is climaxed in Latin IV with Virgil's description of the fabulous founding of Rome. Beneficial records, rendering techniques of pronunciation and presenting French litera- ture and music, lend a helping hand to book learning in this challenging three-year language course. Correct grammatical construction en- hanced by singing of folk songs and reading of fables in German I, and satisfactory speech encouraged by habitual recitation and literary reading in German II, opens the door to an understanding of German culture.

As Sophomores, we accept the challenge of geometry and with the weapon of elementary algebra, undertake this task with grim determina- tion. Strengthened by these two years, some of us go on to intermediate algebra and there are by now, many so warmly attached to the lucid beauty of Euclid that we willingly accept the challenge of trig . Mathematics is above all a science which helps us develop the ability to think and reason clearly while we learn to draw conclusions from given evidence. This practice helps us not only in math exams but also in meeting many aspects of life with the logic and precision of a mathematician. Elementary Algebra. Tenth Year Mathematics.
