ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Miss Rogers Mrs. Toth Mrs. Wil iams To add variety and encourage interest among students, a revo- lutionary change was instituted into the Senior English curriculum during the 1968-69 school term. Students were permitted to choose a pair of electives, each of which was conducted on a ten weeks' basis. The elective courses were: Mythology and Creative Writing Short Story and Novel Speech and Drama Poetry and Creative Writing History of the English Language and Speech Shakespeare and Creative Writing The remaining half of the year was devoted to the curriculum normally offered to Seniors. This course was also available to those students who did not wish to participate in the new program. 29

MATHEMATICS Miss Davies The 1968-69 school year brought a first in the For- eign Exchange Program, faculty style. While our own Mrs. Tucker spent a year in swinging England, her du- ties as mathematician-in-residence were taken on by Britisher Miss Davies. Used to an English school where uniforms and formality were the rule, Miss Davies found our informality quite nice. She also felt that the many electives offered in our wide curriculum provide the students with a very good academic program. Her appetite for things American well whetted by her year at Conestoga, Miss Davies has every intention of doing some traveling through the States before re- turning home.
