E CLISH The English Department was very concerned with the education of the students at Lansdowne. Two new teachers, Mrs. Kolodny and Miss Banks, joined the faculty this year. Grammar was a large part of each English class this year. It was felt that the new grammar now being taught in the lower grades should be continued through high school. The Valhalla and Rurik were both sponsored by the En- glish Department since yearbook and journalism were offered as English electives. The Drama Department entertains the students every year. This year, A Thousand Clowns was presented in the fall. The drama students not only performed at Lansdowne, but also traveled to six elementary schools and presented children's stories. Professional actors were at Lansdowne this year when the Baltimore Theatre Ensemble presented a mime show to the students and faculty. Mrs. Wehrenberg, the Department head, and the remain- der of the English Department are most concerned with the strengthening of humanity through the study of English. D. Banks C.

j ,. ...fr GUIDANCE The Guidance Department is a very important part of a studentis life at Lansdowne. The counselors are here to help the students discover who they are and where they are going. Since the decision-making process is a difficult one, the counselors are always available to help. Some of the posters found in the guidance office seem to reflect messages which define our counselors' philosophies. Some of these are as follows: Our chief Want in life is to find someone who will help us to find our- selvesf, Emerson No one can come close to another, let alone love him, without coming close to his sufferings?
