Today, in a world as com- plex as ours, it is even more necessary for him to be able to converse with others from distant parts ot the world in complete understanding. Language is really iust one step toward the under- standing and knowledge necessary for our world to sur- vive and live in peace. Languages consist not only of tenses and coniugations, but they are also the pass- words to the culture and ideals of a hundred different civilizations. This school gives each one of us the opportunity to learn languages such as French, Latin, German, or Spanish. lt is through this learning that mankind is able to understand other people of other lands, and today more than ever we need such understanding. The world draws closer together, and we, its inhab- itants, must learn that knowledge and understanding are the first steps toward brotherhood and peace. MR. MADDEN, AS OTHER LANGUAGE TEACHERS TODAY makes use of many audio-visual aids in his Spanish classes. 15

They read, dipping into the worId's classics. For read- ing is the key to absorbing all knowledge. They write, trying their hands at both useful and creative forms. For writing is the means of com- municating to those beyond the voice, both in time and in space. They speak, discussing poetry, prose, and drama, old and new. For speech makes possible the closest ex- change of thoughts and feelings. They listen, hearing qualities of voice, comparing the expression ot others' ideas with their own. For in an age of radio and TV, man has found that the spoken word reaches into space and time as once was not dreamed possible. The library - with its wealth of references, fiction, and nontlction, the literature and language textbooks, the film, the recording, the assigned essay, letter or story, the auditorium - all are aids to the English stu- dent, and to straight thinking.

Edwin Dw er - B.E. State CHALK BOARDS ARE EVER-USEFUL in Mrs. Fagerland's classes. Mathematics The WHS Mathematics Department, long oflering a fine program in secondary school math, has continued to evaluate and revamp its course otterings, from gen- eral math to higher algebra. Here at Waukesha, the student is prepared for the arithmetic of the workday world or the further study of mathematics in colleges and technical schools, depend- ing on his aptitudes and interests. National studies have shown some high schools sadly neglecting math courses or poorly preparing students within the courses offered. However, comparisons ot Waukesha's offerings and its students' test results in nation-wide surveys show a fine program here.
