This year some 450 of' Woodrow Wilson's 1400 students are studying one of the foreign languages—Spanish, l'rench, and Latin—that arc offered in the program of studies. Tour teachers teach Spanish, the most popular foreign language course. There are two instructors in Latin, and one teacher of French. Of the total enrollment, many hundreds more will take, or have already taken, two or more years of one of these languages, although foreign language is not a requirement for graduation nor for entrance in most colleges and universities. Counselors recommend it to pupils, however, as a solid academic course for college preparation. Woodrow Wilson Language teachers are acclaimed as unusually skillful in their fields. In their classes, they employ drawings, recorders, records, films, slides, group work, dramatization, and research on the various cultures of the users of the languages. Speech teacher, Helen F.ckleman, and her classes are responsible for many fine assemblies during the year. They ilso learn about and receive experience in cooperative investigation. oral speaking, pantomime and film forums. Hie scripts read at football halftime are written by the speech classes. Mrs. lidwina Brown also teaches speech. Buddy Sherrod uses a chart in Miss Scaly's Latin class to show Helen Adams how the modern words in English have their roots in Latin.

Mathematics brains are concentrated in the morning classes of Miss Ruth Abernathy, who teaches advanced algebra. Mr. Paul F. Greene, instructor in algebra and solid geometry, and Mr. J. William Brown, teacher of elementary analysis 10. Woodrow Wilson is carrying on the program of developing mathematicians for the space age. For those students, who are not capable for, or sufficiently interested in advanced work in mathematics, courses in algebra are offered, as well as plane geometry or business arithmetic, in which average students learn at a less accelerated rate. Mathematics teachers of the high-aptitude group, also instruct in average courses in the afternoon, and, invariably, the students find themselves in a lively and interesting class, for teachers say there is a natural carry-over from these advanced classes. The mathematics teachers at Woodrow Wilson strive to make mathematics interesting to everyone at the same time realizing the value of disciplined work in solving problems.
