Verhulst Long noted for its excellent instruction and its efficient instructors, the English department continues its fine work, led by Leonard Freyman. This year the English classes are going through a transition period from the old curriculum to the newly-revised course of study, 1950 marks the beginning of a new fifty years and it will also go down as an unusual one in the Heights English department because of the extraordinary fact that English III, IV, and V classes have been reading the same literature, Next year the new curriculum will be adopted and no two grade levels will be studying the same subject matter. If The English department is the largest at ' Heights. In addition to the so-called straight English Courses, journalism, Public Speaking, Q Modern Literature, and Dramatics are offer- ed. After the completion of English III,a student may take these extra subjects to 'A' fy J satisfy the required English major or to Z ll Y obtain the necessary credits. Because D these subjects are offered,the three years of required English are more enjoyable. M my With the new ideas, curriculum, and books, ready for use, the English de- partment will maintain its traditional XS yi I N Q standing . 14

L. Clark O. Lehman M. McFadden B. Zweig G. Barbour One of the largest departments of our school is the History department. All of us have come in contact with it through one or more of the interesting, informative subjects offered in that field. Recently a new rule was inaugur- ated at Heights which makes a minor in His- tory a requisite for graduation. Ancient, Me- dieval, and Modern History have been combined into a two-semester World History course, which with American History is required of all students. Two other history courses are offered, Social Problems and Economics. Many members of this faculty devote much time and effort to school projects outside the classroom. Mr. Nash is the head of the de- partment. Mr. Fast continues his interest in STORY I. Fast L. Donaldson P. Nash L. Behney E. Prince A. Engel W.

M. Phillips 1. Miller H. McLaughlin R. Frauhfelfel' O. Budde N. McAfee MATHEMATICS To teach us to reason carefully, to think accurately, and to understand thoroughly are the three main objectives of our Mathematics department. Mr. Phillips, head of this department, and his colleagues believe that math aids us to recognize the essential facts of a X- situation and to organize these facts in such a way as to lead to a conclusion which is sensible and can be used as a basis for making many decisions. Plane Geometry is usually taken in the sophomore year,while future college entrants continue with courses such as Advanced Algebra, Solid Geom- etry or Trigonometry. Our Mathematics de- partment has done a fine job to prepare us for any phase of work we may encounter. Aside from the regular administrative depart- .gl ments of Heights High we have a very effic- ient Medical office under the guidance of Dr. Edwards and his assistant, Mrs. Bell. Periodical examinations and the adminis tration of first aid are only two of the many duties performed by them. We all appreciate deeply the work of our Med- ical department in safeguarding the Ne health of all of us at Heights. 15 X fassi E lp, ..l J' x 1 1 il MEDICAL UFFICE ga if' .j M 13 xx- xx ngment .hem -rn
