Language Study Makes For World Harmon IVINLL in an atomie age with any feeling of security depends upon the degree of friendlif ness in our contacts with other nations. One aid in developing a friendly feeling is the knowledge of other peoples' language, their culture, their customs, and their way of living. Such a knowledge brings tolerance, a sympathetic understanding of the life of a nation, and an appreciation of that nations contribution to world harmony. h M' Evel 'n Rummel's third year Spanish Class.

TOM bombs and foreign people are signihcantg but important too, in a -democracy, is the rccognif tion of individual needs. This year, particular attention has been given to pupils with special handif caps. For those with defective vision, sightfsaving classes have been maintained, for those with speech or hearing diiiiculties, a critical diagnosis has, in many cases, led to correction of the trouble. Remedial classes have been continued for those whose rate and comprehension in reading is retarded. Despite thc changes that the atomic age may develop, one basic unchanging need of the student is individual consideration, in order that he may develop his interests, attitudes, and abilities, to the fullest extent. 22

Science Points Way To Progress HE war proved that there is no substitute for L defense against it, no drug, no medical advancement to save us from the effects of our own destrucf tive creations, were, or can be created except by the highly specialized scientist. The conversion to peacetime manufacture again finds the manufacturer and processor callinv on the scientist for new and D hetter processes and materials to meet the demand. The scientist must lead the way, and only if he acquires a good hasic scientiiic knowledge in high school, will he he ahle to advance in a field which requires accuracy, and specialized training. It is imperative that the science department maintains mod' ern instruction. The W.T.H.S. staff includes: Al G. Grosche, Dept.
