M For College-Bound Students The feeling of brotherhood and understanding toward people of the world is taught and demonstrated through the foreign language depart- ment at Warren Central. In these courses, students learn not only the country’s native tongue, but also its culture, geography, history, and ways of life. Foreign languages offered are French, German, Spanish, and Latin. Foreign languages such as German and Latin are often selected by stu- dents interested in vocations in the areas of science or medicine. Romance languages, such as French and Spanish, usually are se- lected by students who are interested in foreign affairs and ideas. Much of the classroom time is spent learning to pronounce, and knowing the meanings of words and sentences, as well as writing them. This year marked the re-opening of the new language center which allows students to record their own voices and teach themselves at their own learning rate. Right: Spanish students Darlene Wade and Scott Norman present a dialogue, a basic ritual performed in all language classes.

Contribute Practical, Advanced Knowledge corded by sophomores Helga Wehner and Mike Hilton during their Geometry class. The different dimensions of geometric fig- ures are contemplated, discussed, and re- Junior Larry Ridgeway explains the alge- braic expression he has written on the board during his Algebra I II class. An ever increasing knowledge in the field of mathematics is a necessity for the well-educated leaders of to- morrow ' s world. By using deductive thinking many problems that may arise tomorrow can be solved through logical thinking. Courses offered by the Mathe- matics Department are Algebra I II, Geometry, Algebra III IV, Trigo- nometry, College Algebra, and Cal- culus. The two main courses selected to fulfill the graduation requirements of two credits are Algebra I II and Geometry. Students who desire a stronger base of mathematical knowl- edge may elect other complex and intricate courses such as College Algebra or Calculus. Many students take advantage of their mathematics department by se- lecting the five year math plan. How- ever, many students take two, three, or four years of mathematics which will also greatly benefit them in their later vocations as well as many prob- lems that could later arise in life.
