relferafing the romantics The Foreign Language department continued to grow this year, with more students enrolled in their third and touth year classess than ever before. Mrs. MacKellar, a U.C.L.A. Phi Beta Kappa, was the head of the depart- ment and also taught all four levels of French and second level Spanish. Mr. Herman, Miss, Barber, and Miss Miramontes, all Spanish teach- ers, completed this very distingiushed Language Department. The Department put more emphasis on the cultures, including poetry and literature, rather than just studying the language itself. This insight brought great interest to the students and enabled them to have an, broader view of both Spain and France. 1. Angagli MacKellar — For. Lang., U.C.L.A., A.B. 2. Barry Herman — For.

wrlfe on! The English Department, newly headed by Mrs. Mary Makela, has main- tained the traditional survey courses this year, but changed the honors program. Honors English, taught by Mrs. Shirley La Barre, met one day a week during reg- ular English class time and was open to juniors and seniors who had at least a B average in their regular English class. Mrs. La Barre challenged students weekly to examine different philosophies of truth, beauty, goodness, and commit- ment. The freshman and sophomores stud- ied a general overview of literature with Mrs. Ida Mae Crowell and Miss Mary Scharf, respectively. The juniors studied American Literature with Mr. Kurt Hild, and the seniors studied English Litera- ture with Mrs. Michal Ann Buckley. The main goal for the English Depart- ment continues to be preparing students for college. The department stresses continuity in its program, and consis- tantly high college-prep standards. 1.
