Miss Carroll coaxes, Come on Ellen, once over lightly. 9Ym Grunts and groans, cheers and exclamations of dis- appointment: all are audible from the physical education classes whether on the football or hockey field, baseball diamond, or tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts. The Physical Education Department at Andrew Warde stresses the development not only of body fitness but also of sportsman-like conduct in all students. The learn- ing of rules,-of the importance of safety, and of specific athletic skills enable each student at Andrew Warde to understand and participate in many sports, such as football, baseball, and basketball. Moreover, students are taught the correct way to do exercises such as push- ups and knee-bends which increase their strength and balance. Whether forming human pyramids, iumping over leather horses, swinging from ropes, practicing a tennis serve, or attempting to make a basket, the students of Andrew Warde develop the athletic skill, body con- trol, and physical-fitness which will be useful to them as they go forward through life.

Upon entering Andrew Warde, however, they may re- ceive instruction in any of the five foreign lan- guages offered by the Language Department. In addition to vocabulary and grammar, students may learn much about the customs of countries from which these languages originate. Some students who desire to venture forth from their own culture may study the modern languages, French, Spanish, and German. Students learn to speak, write, and read these languages as well as learn about the geography and culture of France, Spain, and Germany. Students gain appreciation of the culture of these countries by listening to music and seeing movies. In addition, they em- ploy the language laboratory to improve their speaking skill. Moreover, some students may study the language most recently offered at Andrew Warde, Russian. Other students who wish to step backward to an ancient city may study Latin. Latin, a study of endings, enables these pupils to read the writings of ancient Roman authors and see the relationship between that language and English. By trans- lating myths, studying Caesar's account of the Gallic Wars, reading Cicero's orations, and ap- preciating the poetry of Virgil's Aeneid, scholars gain an understanding of the history, religion, people, and customs of ancient Rome. Whether studying ancient or modern lan- guages, students of Andrew Warde obtain not only knowledge of these languages but also an appreciation of the culture of the countries in which these languages are spoken.

Through the Social Studies Department at Andrew Warde students study these footprints and learn to decipher the effect they have had upon life and the effects they will have upon the future. Moreover, these students become aware of the impressions cur- rent events make in the sands of time. For ex- ample, freshmen studying World History learn of the influences exerted upon America by pre- historic, European, and Asiatic civilizations. An explanation of our Constitution, an account of Westward expansion, and a description of the intellectual growth of our nation are offered by United States History. Furthermore, students who wish to supplement their knowledge may study Modern History, an account of the politi- cal, economic and social development of nine- teenth and twentieth century Latin America, Europe, and the Far East. Also, in order to be- come more aware of the current major issues confronting American citizens, students may elect a course in Problems of American Democ- racy, which includes such topics as labor and management, public finance, and propaganda analysis. Thus, graduates of Andrew Warde are pre- pared to understand the world situation con- fronting them today as well as to cope with the problems it will present in the future. lunch The end of third period comes slowly . . . two seconds . . . one second . . . suddenly the stampede toward the cafeteria begins . . . sandwiches . . . ice cream . . . milk . . . twenty- two minutes of blissful eating . . . talking . . . relaxing.

The Engineer Scientist Teacher Program is a novel approach toward the educational development of future scientists. Those students of the Fairfield high schools who have great scientific ability may partici- pate in this program which strives to provide a means of specialization in science, to supplement the science curriculum offered by the Fairfield public schools, and to establish a sound relationship among students, engineers, and teachers. During the school year, for fifteen and one-half hours, the staff of engineers, doctors, and Fairfield educators meet with the stu- dents participating in this program. At these meetings students may hear lectures and may see demonstra- tions pertaining to the specific subject of science in which they are most interested. Through these meet- ings, the Engineer Scientist Teacher Program builds a strong foundation for the students' future scientific endeavors.
