Languages aid in many fields I I 2 + As the United States comes in closer contact with toreign na- tions, the ability to converse in the modern languages gains a new and deeper meaning. ln re- cent years, because of the grow- ing interest in science and medi- cine, the number ot German stu- dents has increased, A closer re- lationship with our neighbors in the southern hemisphere has made Spanish more important. French, the otticial language ot the United Nations, has become a necessity for those planning to enter the tield ot political science. Modern language students study the grammar and vocabulary ot the language and at the same time learn the customs and histor- ies ot the various countries. .4 .4 'f 'IST ROW: Miss Dorothy Levensohn Latin, Miss Helen Pelton, Latin 2ND ROW: Mrs. Laura Jane Ren frow, Latin, Miss Laura Riffe, Latin 3RD ROW: Miss Irene A.

This extensive Latin program aids stu- dents beginning courses in Ro- mance languages, and provides an excellent account of the an- cient Roman civilization.

This year the first class to undertake the comprehensive program completed four years of math in only three years. At the end of their senior year advanced pupils take an examination to determine their standing at college. Students tak- ing mathematics courses can recall the conversion from fractions to decimals in seventh and eighth grade classes, the never-ending list of theorems and postu- lates in solid and plane geometry, and the numerous series of sines, cosines, and tangents in Trigonometry. A student who has studied mathematics at Walnut Hills is prepared for the future. Even if he does not continue with mathematics in college, the accurate vvork habits which he acquired in high school will benefit him in other fields.
