26 English in South and West expands with new system Elizabeth White, Chairman Mearl Dodge Marcia Hoelscher M? Marcia Levin Beverly Page William Schlagetter ' ' gf Lf' im S George Seidenbecker Lina Spaulding Robert Workman Susan Zeiser As a result of the division of ETHS, the South and West School English Departments named a chairman to head their respective departments. Mrs. Betty White supervised the South School English Department, and Mr. Eugene Stern, who was new to Evanston this year, headed the department in West School. English teachers gained valuable time by issuing take- home exams. In addition, students were required to view filmstrips, listen to recordings, and use the microfilm readers and printers in the library during unscheduled time. Class activities included lectures, seminar discussions, and large group projects. Shorter class time placed more re- sponsibility on the student for completing his assignments and learning outside of his class. All tenth grade classes were involved for the first time in a lexicology-lexicography unit in which the grammar of the word and a more detailed knowledge of how a dictionary is compiled were stressed. Using an overhead projector, Mr. Mearl Dodge illustrates the theme of a short story to his 2 English 3 class. .

l P Student responsibility stressed hy Social Studies Departments in North and East Bernard Mattson .EW chairman R. Keith Corley f Jack Finley George Glennie James McKean Paul Moore Jean Smith A U.S. History test question is clarified by Mr. George Glennie. Crosslectures and team teaching dominated this year's program of the Social Studies Department in North and East Schools. Teachers specializing in a particular field of his- tory lectured to classes studying that area of history which enabled students to gain a more thorough understanding of the course. The humanities gained a new emphasis in many of the social studies classes by incorporating into the traditional history course a study of the fine arts and literature. Experimental work in formulating more comprehensive tests was undertaken by faculty members. Diagnostic tests were given to students in an effort to discover their weak- nesses and ways to improve teaching methods. Classes met three days per week for three modules. More materials and facilities were made available to stu- dents for independent study. - Team teaching was once again an integral part of the Social studies program. Faculty members worked for closer cooperation and communication among themselves in creating a more conducive atmosphere for independent learning. Mr. Bernard Mattson, who has been at ETHS since 1924, planned to retire at the end of this year. Mr. Mattson has served ETHS for 44 years, having been absent for two years to work on a master's degree.
