Speakers give ideas and view points on foreign countries One of the first things accomplished in the Language Club was the election of officers. Sandy Bienio was elected president. Thom Sauber won the office of vice-president, and Beth Nagy was selected as secretary. Two students represented each language: the French representatives were Jill Shorts and Peri Howe: Vicki Landas and Joe Nev- ille represented German: John Viglo and Larry Bernstein represented Latin: and representing Spanish were Debbie Birtciel and Kathy Hovis. Miss Linda Y. Gregg and Miss Doro- thy L. Dunkle showed slides and talked about their trip to Montreal, Quebec, Canada,forthe Summer Olympics, Tra- cie Beightol, an AFS exchange student who visited Turkey, gave a slide pre- sentation on her experiences. Teachers from Slippery Rock State College spoke at one of the meetings about the possible job opportunities in the lan- guage field.

Horticulture expands and general math attitude changes Horticulture was offered by the Science Department for both semes- ters due to the high student interest in the course. Throughout the year there were sixty-five students who wanted to get their hands into mother earth. The agriculturally minded students learned how to make soil and water checks, propagate plants, and how to manage their own gardens. The classes went on trips which took them to Oil Creek Valley Nursery, Love's Tree Farm, and Wilcox's Greenhouse and Nursery. I love it, said Rick Repasky, you get to go outside and go on field trips. Five students enrolled in Nuclear Science for a second semester course. The number of students was low, but it evidently reflected the number of peo- ple interested in working with the nu- cleus of radioactive materials. lt was recommended by James S. McOueer, 100!math-science teacher of the class, that students take physics and calculus to meet the stan- dards in Nuclear Science. Little change was faced by the Math Department as far as its curriculum was concerned. No new books, courses, or teachers were added to the department, however, a new attitude was taken toward the teaching of busi- ness and general math. The general math courses were al- tered to put more emphasis on the ap- plication of math to practical, everyday mathematical problems. Business Math, a course in the Business Educa- tion Curriculum, was partially handled by the math department in order to make a second class section available to interested students. This additional class made it possible for more stu- dents to learn the math needed to han- dle office and business type mathematical situations.
