THAT ILLUSIVE TERM Puzzled, popular Miss Fox stands accused before grinning class. As industry cries for engineers and mathematicians, more and more emphasis is being put on math in high school. Tenally High has met this demand by expanding its curriculum to include a series of rigorous courses from Algebra I to an introduction to calculus and probability. In Algebra I students continually learn the value of x, as it appears from time to time inadistance, ratio, and mix- ture problems.. Here are taught the basic fundamentals of algebraic relationships, useful' throughout life, but especially in Algebra II. If Plane Geometry follows ,Algebra I, then . . . Popular geometry teacher Mr. Wiseman claims that he is very definitely teaching Euclid's geometry which is 2,000 years old. The only difference is in some of his teaching methods which are not 2,000 years old. For the college-bound mathemati- . g f cian, Tenally has supplemented B. P .

FOREIGN LANGUAGES Far Away Places With Strange Sounding Names fifteen sophomores who will continue it for the next two years. Judging from the enthusiasm of these sophomores, Russian is about to challenge the position of Spanish and French as the most popular language available. The course of the little Nikita-itesi' includes learning the Russian alphabet and its sounds, memorizing sentences, monologues and dialogues and listening to recordings of folk songs and folk lore, making this course a study not only of the language of the people, but of the people themselves. Los composicionesf' favorites of all Spanish students, is just one of the ways the drudgery of grammar is dis- pelled in THS Spanish classes. Bulletin boards of what's new in Spanish speaking countries are kept by students and supplemented by in-person reports by Miss Lehr about her many trips to Spain. After dwelling on the usual verb conjugations, vocabulary and idioms, Spanish III students progress to reading beautiful and often diffi- cult masterpieces of Spanish literature. French, one of the more beautiful Romance lan- guages, is a favorite of all students interested in literature and of those who hope to travel in Europe. Famous for its impromptu quizzlets and quaint French ditties in the 'French II book, French classes include ever popular grammar drills, oral conversation and famous literature by important French authors. Pronounciation, the neme- sis of all self-conscious adolescent French' students is stressed all three years as learning to speak comme vrai Parisienv is the ultimate goal.

LIBRARY Reference Laboratory Supplies Books, Books, Books ALWAYS READY TO AID Checking out a book for senior Laurie Adams is Mrs. Lalor. Libraries are usually self-explanatory and usually all the same, row upon row of books. But we proudly boast of ours as something special. Considered by many to be the most beautiful room of the entire school, it is both an efficient library and an ultra-modern reading room. Its purpose is to provide everything from cook books to encyclo- pedias. Mrs. Lalor is always on hand to help with reference material or to dig out magazines with the aid of that ever-helpful big green book, The Reafleris Guide to Periodic Literature. After one has found just the right book comes the real joy of settling into a plush red leather chair. But with it is the task of trying to ignore those tantalizing footstools.
