We are fortunate to have outstanding teachers in that field who make our classes interesting. Contrary to the thoughts of some Techites, English 1s a subject well worth taking. When we think of what our knowledge of English will mean to us in the future years, we readily give the English department and its teachers our thanks for a job well done. The Tech Library becomes a place of refuge for all Techites when themes, and pleasant place. FIRST ROW: Jo Ann Stearns. SECOND ROW: pe Ler sardo, Mary Conway.

Mr. Newhall, Miss McCarthy, Miss Austin, Mr. Lague. It is not possible to walk down the second floor corridor of the Elliot Street Building without going by a French, German, or Spanish room. The teachers who preside in these Modern Language rooms are Miss McCarthy, Miss Ann M. Austin, Mr. Euclid Lague, and Mr. Fales Newhall, the head of the Modern Language Department. Both Miss Austin and Mr. Lague are new here at Tech this year. Modern Languages are helpful to today’s student whether he goes into teaching, foreign relations, science, or the Army. Perhaps someday there will be one universal language; but until that day, we will have to be content with trying to learn the other person’s way of speech.

The curriculum of this year’s Science Department is both vari- ed and interesting. Here, in this school, science is one of the most heavily stressed subjects. College Preparatory boys are re- quired to have two years of Physics, a year of Chemistry and, if possible, a year of Electronics. Only fifty per cent of all high schools even offer these courses. To meet these standards, Tech has an excellent scienc staff. Upon entering Tech, the freshman physics student will in- variably be taught by Mr. Case. Awaiting him is a vast store of knowledge of Navy life as well as information about forces and motion. If, on the other hand, the student is interested in biology, it is very possible that he will be under the direction of Miss Barton or Mr. Curran. In the student’s junior year, it is possible that he will have a course in Chemistry. If he does not have this course in his yunior year he will have to take it in his last year. In either case he will have the guidance of such teachers as Mr. Northrup, Miss Martin, Mr. Romano, or Mr. Curran. This is the staff that works many hours to drill the knowledge of atoms and molecules into our heads. Joan Voelker, Delores Twarog, Ron Robi- taille, Jim Stassen.
