The team teaching program, under the direction of department chairman, Mr. Aldo Mungai, was expanded from the previously experimental use to include more North Campus classes. Audio-visual material, independent study, and variable class groupings were incorporated as the project developed to combine their strengths. New classrooms were designed to better serve the changing needs of the department. Folding partitions were installed between double rooms to permit greater classroom versatility. Speech students had the oppor- tunity to use tape recorders to analyze individual oral weaknesses. New audio-visual equipment, purchased for the use of the English Depart- ment exclusively, became more readily accessible to teachers than in previous years. With the addition of new suites of rooms, more efficient functioning was made possible in department offices and reading rooms. Such improvements aided the department in its attempt to provide a wider range of learning opportunities.

Thomas Hansen Director Pupil Services Department In its aim to carry out the responsibilities of schedule planning, guidance, and advice on college admissions procedures, the Department of Pupil Services sought to personalize LT for its vast enrollment. Apti- tude tests administered in Freshmen Social Studies, where students were first introduced to the various aspects of high school life, provided the initial opportunity for the participant to analyze his skills and tal- ents. The annual Career Day programmed for upperclassmen gave each student a chance to explore his range of interests by hearing speakers from a variety of professions. Achievement tests and round-table dis- cussions which were sponsored by several departments helped guide the individual student in making decisions about the future. The depart- ment continued to offer consultations with many college and business representatives. Throughout the four years, counselors met with stu- dents in private interviews in an effort to bring pupils to realistic self- evaluation and, hopefully, to more clearly-defined goals.
