DICTION AND DIPLOMACY E For students at Wilson the Foreign Language Department is the doorway to Europe. In class discussions and supplementary acti- vities, pupils learn to reach beyond the class- room walls. There is no better way to under- stand a foreign people and their culture than to learn the language of the nation, and Wilson students have a wide range of lan- guages to choose from. Through their knowl- edge, students can learn to broaden their horizons for the future. TOP TO BOTTOM: Mrs. JeanW. Shiffer -- B. A. , Albright College Mr. R.

OF CALCULATIO Modern scientific research has revealed that branches of knowledge formerly thought unrelated are reallyl interlocking. More specifi- cally, mathematics is now recog- nized as important to many professions and essential to any eduation. Wilson emphasizes this facet of education by offering three courses in mathematics, each geared to a different level of study. Review Math meets the needs of those who will use basic math at home or in industry. Senior Math prepares students who need math as a supple- ment to further studies in college. For pupils planning to major in math, Advanced Math offers an excellent introduction to higher mathematics. These three programs combine to make the Mathematics Department a vital organ, preparing today's students for tomorrow's problems. FIRST COLUMN: Mr. Ralph A. Friend -- B.A., Moravian Collegeg M.

LIBRARY - HO E OF FELICITY Providing enrichment and resource materials, the library is an important organ of the school. Within the bounds of the library, one can cross the thresholds of fantasy and far away lands ,or of science and humanity. To meet the academic and literary needs of the school, Wilson's library has ex- pandexd its stacks and the hours the library is open. New books are catalogued and displayed in the entrance to the libra before they are placed on the shelves. There is now emphasis on extending the collection of scientific books, not only of the space age but of all areas in science. The li- brary -is constantly growing. Thousands of books from the senior high library have been taken to the new junior high building. More audio-visual materials will be added as a part of the increased program for next year. Elementary li- braries will also be introduced in connection with the Ele- mentary and Secondary Education Act. Such be the library, and take this motto of a Latin make to grace the door, through which I pass: HIC, HABITAT, FELICITAS ! -- Frank Dempster Sherman M.rs. Hdller -- Mrs. Lantz -- B.A., Bucknell B.
