What we can claim as our history, nevertheless, is an aggregation of teaching techniques and aids including the SRA reading program, intramural exchange teaching, a literary magazine, the use of cumulative reading records with assistance from Itself, some ex¬ cellence in the province of having taught (from college follow-up studies), and as thrill¬ ing an idea as anyone; the English Depart¬ ment at Annandale High School seeks des¬ perately to teach English, good manners, common sense; to build character; to strengthen minds; to light paths of knowledge, love, and honor; to develop skills, minds, hearts, and emotions; and still have some time left over.

Is this a dagger which I see Before me? Col. Clark poses a very moot question. Coincident with the phenomenon of the population explosion, specifically since the popularity of the war baby and thereafter, the enrollment in the English classes at Annan- dale High School has literally doubled since 1954. This being no fault in particular of the English Department, we cannot claim said growth phenomenon as an historical pro¬ gression of our very own. Neither can we claim the alleviation of class load per normal English teacher or the direction afforded us by the Fairfax County Guideline for the unification of the English course on a county¬ wide level; each of these quixotic courses of MISS BARBARA FINCH MR.

Mathematics in Annandale High School has been consistently shooting toward the stars! In 1954, four hundred and thirty-five students with three teachers studied the trad¬ itional courses; a class of five students in solid geometry and trigonometry was the most advanced course. Within the past ten years, however, enrollment has increased to approximately seventeen hundred students with eleven teachers. Elementary functions and analysis have been added to the cur¬ riculum; moreover, matrix algebra will enter the picture next year. The entire program has gone modern.
