Miss Helen Flynn, curriculum co-ordinator, works with the thirteen department heads to dis- cover new projects and techniques used in G. N. H. S. teaching and to prevent overlapping of subject matter. In turn, the department heads advance new policies and developments within their classes. For example, to stimulate interest in math, three top students w'ere selected to participate in the Phi Mu F.psilon Mathematics Contest at New York University on April 7. Several members of the Discover)' of Music class attended a Metro- politan Opera rehearsal of Pagliacci. The Physi- cal Education Department offered to Seniors a First Aid course, leading to a standard Red Cross certificate after 26 periods of study. In co-operation with the P. T. A. and the State Department, junior and senior social studies teachers sponsored a Foreign Policy Essay contest. Winners, Eric Schwartz and Alfred Soman, were State Depart- ment guests in Washington for a week. Letters from Mrs. Hubbard, spending her sabbatical leave in France, reported European methods of con- ducting foreign language classes in the language studied, instead of in the pupil's native tongue. 11
