For the junior high student, intensive general studies in classroom labs are offered. For the senior high, complete laboratory courses in biology, chemis- try, and physics are available. Also, second year courses in biology and physics are provid- ed for those who wish to pursue more involved scientific study at Thomas Jefferson. John Briggs Science Basketball Coach

J. foreign language circles, expressions like Com- ment-vous appelez-vous?,' Wie geht es Ihnen, Come esta usted? and Pax vobiscum are commonplace to respective scholars of the French, German, Spanish, and Latin tongues. These students, confronted with a study new in declensions, conjugations, accent marks, and nouns of various genders, at- tempt first the mastery of these basic fundamentals, and then the knowledge of a foreign people's habits and heritage. Much of this mastery and knowledge comes from classic authors like Cervantes, Cicero, Hanssad, and Mauppassant, and classical works like The Aeneid, Metamorphosis, Les Miserables, and Don Quixote. The by-products of such study - better under- standing of a country's geography, history, and social structure - prove vital to a totality of language comprehension. With further aid by maps, songs, pictures, movies, menus, anecdotes, and tape recordings, students have been able to touch a way of life that at one time was comparatively strange to them. Though their experiences be vicarious, they are also incontestably valuable.
