Individual attention adds a personal touch to Mrs. Martha Beasley's French class. Miss Louise Reiter's Foreign Lan- guage Department offered six lan- guages at a variety of levels. Classes were taught in French, German, Spanish, Latin, Classical Greek, and Russian. Studies ranged from a first year concentratio-n on grammar and vocabulary to the discussions on French poetry and contemporary lit- erature, held in Mr. Sutherland's French IX and X class. Senior French students spent the year preparing for the Advanced Placement Tests, while Juniors in French, German, Latin, and Spanish classes attempted to qualify for the Indiana University Honors Program. Two new teachers, Mrs. Martha Beasley and Mr. David Hammer, were added to the department's faculty. l. U.

The appointment of a new Science Department head, Mr. Donald King, spearheaded the many other changes in the department. Mr. King intro- duced his plans for curricular addi- tions and other developments within the department. The Biology Depart- ment also added two new teachers, Mr. Jerry Chance and Mrs. Bonnie Farley. Once again, insect nets and killing jars, binoculars, fetal pigs, and mi- croscopes filled the activity schedule of sophomore biology students. Ad- vanced courses in physiology and microbiology were again offered to upperclassmen. Probably the biggest addition to the Science Department was the new Farquhar Planetarium, which was set up for the benefit of all students. The Planetarium has several projec- tion globes which can be used inter- changeably to recreate the night sky for any place on the earth at a par- ticular time. The Planetarium helped bring physical science classes up to date with the rapidly developing field of space exploration and study.
