Along with the daily courses in foreign languages, each language group has its own club in which members strive to learn more in those areas of the language that interest them most. The foreign language department offers advanced courses for those students who complete the regular four year course. In addition, Saturday lan¬ guage lab classes are offered both for the beginner as well as the advanced student. All of these programs are designed to give each student the opportuni¬ ty to learn and understand the language and culture of other nations. The early years of the student are aimed at giving the student a competent background in grammar, oral recitation, and aural comprehension of the language in order that he may be capable of understanding that country’s literature. The later years are spent in studying the country’s novels, plays, art, and social system. 34

English 12 Debating Society The English Department: Innovations In Compositions Mr. Paul Murphy, Head of the English Department, during recent years has been quite concerned about the uniform teaching of writing in our school which has led to widespread restudy of instructional programs in composition. This concern has brought about experimental programs for teaching rhetoric and writing, much educational research, and the development of new ideas for teaching materials. Much of the concern has resulted in vigorous attempts to achieve a greater professional consensus on what constitutes good writing! Pupils reading their own themes, instructors’ use of over¬ head projectors and group commentary on individual writing are innovations included in this phase of curriculum develop¬ ment. Selected themes annotated by teachers are models for analysis and discussion. These new ideas serve as a stimulus in evaluation. The methods should provide a helpful basis for classroom discussion and departmental workshops and, in the future, pay dividends to the student. 33 DOROTHEA M. WELLING D’Youville College A.B.

Boston University A.B. Music Theory Choraleers Black and Orange Revue EDSON L. KIMBALL Boston University Music Appreciation Band Orchestra Senior Play Change And Expansion Emphasized Change and expansion characterized the Music Department this year. Instruction in the basics of music was supplemented by expo¬ sure to the works of the masters in an attempt to help the student re¬ fine his taste for music. For the interested student, specialized groups abound. By partici¬ pating in the band or the various choral groups, the student gains a sense of responsibility, pride, and achievement. By appearing at civic affairs, the student is impressed with the opportunities for active par¬ ticipation in later life. 35 Mr. Hodgson and Gary Magby listen to the voices of the choraleers.
