The language department of St. Thomas Aquinas High School believes the study of foreign languages has educa- tional, cultural, and vocational value. By offering classical and modern languages the department strives to foster respect for foreign cultures, past and present, and to broaden aca- demic skills. Annually, the department sponsors a weeklong language fair during which students exhibit projects depicting the culture and customs of the countries whose languages they study. Foods of the various nations are served at the international banquet when student chefs play host to parents and friends. Another special feature of the department is the language magazine published each year to show the varied literary talents of St. Thomas Aquinas language students.

SCIENCE f 5? AQ: Mr. Kochanski S.T.A. offers a wide variety of science courses which challenge the student and enable him to cope with today's world. The student is given a basic understanding of the sciences through I.P.S. and Biology. If he wishes, he can continue on to Chem- istry and several earth sciences. There are several particularly challenging cour- ses offered at St. Thomas. Among these are: Pace Chemistry, in which the stu- dents learn by the use of self-study con- tracts, Advance Placement Biology, a college-level course which can possibly lead to college creditsg and Computer Science, a new course this year, which teaches the basics of computer program- ming. The Bio-Action Club and Chemis- try League give the student an opportunity to use his knowledge outside of school. The Bio-Action Club undertakes various projects and encourages the student to take an interest in the world around him. The Chemistry League enables the stu- dent to compete with students from other schools and test his knowledge of Chemistry. Sr. Mary Seraphica Seton Hall U.
