2 OAK LEAVES June. I967 Jeannette Hendricks To Retire ln August Jeannette Hendricks has been an integral part of AFS for more than twenty years. As the wife of George S. Hendricks, former teacher of mathematics, she was hostess for stu- dent activities both at school and in her home. The years of her own ser- vice have included a vast variety of activities as upper school secretary, ma ter stencil-maker, hostess, usher, source of information, general con- sultant and organizer. In fact, Jean- nette has always been ready to assist students, faculty and parents in any capacity whatsoever, giving her time, her skills, herself. She has been an important member of the AFS fam- ily. We shall always consider her a part of us and extend now our deep- est appreciation for her interest, con- cern and unselfish devotion to the school. . ,.T....,... .s-.

Must we always consider education for our children in a curricular framework? This question, posed at a recent teachers' conference, evoked a quick no in my mind. Yet, as I thought about it, I wondered just how much we as a faculty do look beyond the curriculum for significant educational experiences to offer the students entrusted to us. I also wondered how much parents would encourage us to break the bonds of our customary curricular framework. And what about colleges? Would they look with favor upon major moves away from the traditional curriculum that has been the mainstay of the minimum sixteen units required for entrance to college?
