if JU Reading Lab Develops Skills Stanislaus approaches reading on both a group and individual level. Several times a week the student is directed in the Reading Lab which provides him with an opportunity to participate in small group and individualized type work. He develops such reading skills as vocabulary, comprehension, listening skills, and study skills. All grammar school students come to Reading Lab twice a week. On two other days of the week they read books in their classroom. On Fridays whole-class instruction is provided for them by Miss Ryan. No homework or extra assignments are given to students who come to the Lab with the exception of perhaps one book report per quarter. Enjoyment of reading is stressed in the Lab.

Language Curriculum Offers Challenge French, Spanish, and Latin are offered to interested students from the seventh to the senior year by the language department. The department is constantly building up materials so that students may become more familiar with the different languages offered. At least twice a week students are brought into the mod¬ ern up-to-date language lab to listen and read the dif¬ ferent languages. Therefore, it is to the benefit of all students to become involved in the language curriculum which can open and broaden their understanding of the world and people around the globe.

Sciences Stress Experimental Approach With the well equipped laboratories and dedi¬ cated faculty members at Stanislaus, a student’s awakening to the vast and intriguing world of sci¬ ence is quite exciting. Consisting of earth science, chemistry, biology, physics, ecology, physical sci¬ ence, and marine biology, the curriculum offered is varied and challenging. Throughout the year, class and individual projects are performed by students and teachers alike. Laboratory activities put much stress on the concept of experimental work where the student is expected to learn by doing. Whether it is dissecting frogs, mixing chemical solutions, taking data on environmental experi¬ ments, or measuring the rate of acceleration in the physics lab, any student who pursues the marvel¬ ous world of science at Stanislaus is taking upon himself an endeavorable challenge.
