Department Heads Plot Courses . . . COL. W. LEONARD GARDNER B.A.; M.Ed. The Citadel; University of Virginia; Academic Board; Guidance Chairman; Head, Foreign Languages. It is true — the textbooks in ' 62 were more colorful than ever, but that is not why the Department Heads selected them for use at Augusta! Given the task of coordinating each subject in his field and selecting course content and text book, each Department Head has given unlimited service in order to keep AMA at the top. Contest winners and higher College Board scores offer proof that these men are doing a real job for Augusta-men. REST SESSION . . . Major Livick, Mrs. Roller and Mrs. Livick relax between terms. It will be brief, however, for these three never stop working! DISTINCT HONOR . . . Col. Gardner extends a warm hand¬ shake to John Canevet for his placing second in the United States in the National Modern Foreign Language Contest. Can¬ evet placed in the French II division, having one first previously in French I. MAJOR O. A. H. DAVIS B.S. California State Teachers College; Housefather, Head, History Department.
