HUMAN RELATIONS All-level curriculum changes involve a new tenth Virtually every instructor at Edsel Ford makes use of the excellent audio-visual equipment available. In this case, Mr. Joseph DiFranco hopes to illustrate a psycho- logical concept through use of a movie. Miss Mary Franzen, a new addition to E.F.’s counseling staff, finds the task of correcting junior Alice Miarka’s schedule somewhat amusing. Miss Franzen is replacing Mr. AI Dawson who is on sabbatical leave. 20

Desired effects are achieved by Mrs. Muriel Hunt in photography with time and patience. The results of her labors are evident in this collection. ENGLISH Program’s not stifled despite crowded classes With a capacity enrollment reached, the English Hu- manities department is assuming the great task of schedul- ing approximately 2,000 creative and diverse individuals and contending with the overwhelming task of having to reschedule classes when an Art Humanities project is as- signed. Yet, new and continuing programs, creative writing, film study, dramatics, speech, journalism, forensics, and debate encourage the outward expression of knowledge gained in the Humanities. Teachers contribute not only by conducting their respective classes, but also by sharing special interests and talents with the student body. Even though the increased enrollment has posed some problems, the learning experience has not been sacrificed. 19

grade program, a shift to senior-group sessions Top: Mr. Harry Adams, Mr. Arthur Bourassa. Bottom: Mrs. Ian Dawson. The emphasis on knowing yourself or finding yourself is not a new concept here at Edsel Ford. The eleventh grade Human Relation psychology course was designed to aid students in self-discovery. The emphasis is still there, but it will now be geared toward the sophomores, who the counselors feel are now more mature to make decisions concerning their own identity. Also included in the sophomore curriculum is a program concerning dating, marriage, and family living, which was previously reserved for seniors. The seniors felt, because they had been dating for several years, that it would have been more appro- priate sooner in the program. The hope is that this will help students find themselves by filtering ap- propriate information at opportune times.
