Creative teaching-a key to the romance of history There is nothing new under the sun. We need only to open history's covers to realize that we are not as original as we had previously imagined. We, as students of life, are the sum total of all who have preceded us. Vital people pass in reviewg we stop the more interesting characters, examine them closely, question them persistently. Each has some message for us. In an attempt to grasp and define this message, an enlarged Winchendon History Department in 1965 strove to inculcate in its students the ability to draw meaningful conclusions from the panorama of historical events. AMERICAN HISTORY comes to life for Bob Bergmann and Sandy Axton in Mr. Favreau's class. Ski 'F '-Q za,- 6 . . rx .Egan 'itil via? -1. sf' ffv ,ss J.

A WORLD OF FIGURES and symbols is unlocked by Mr. Steffens for his sixth period class in elementary algebra as a preparation for an increasingly challenging program of mathematics envisioned at Winchendon School. The Mathematics Department, under the direction of Mr. Radcliffe, has undergone fundamental changes this year, Algebra I continues to stress the accuracy of equa- tions and a knowledge of the essential mathematical rules included in algebra. Algebra II reviews the Hrst year of algebra and introduces the pupil both to trigonom- etry and coordinate geometry. Juniors are introduced not only to plane geometry but are given the fundamentals of solid ge- ometry. Math IV covers plane trigonometry in conjunction with solid geometry while at the same time familiarizing pupils with Htrigw and calculus. , MARGARET SHORTLIDGE Mathematics B.A. fBryn Mawrjg M.A. fSmithl. 30 DONALD L.
