ADMINISTRATION New Concepts 9n ‘6 e a c fling 6 n fiance Knowledge With new concepts in teaching, “democracy” as a theme, and improved equipment and facilities, the faculty was able to make long strides in preparing us for the future. Team teaching, the year s most distinctive innovation, provided juniors with specialized and intensified instruction in American literature and history. Foreign language teachers, utilizing our modern language laboratory, placed new emphasis on fundamental conversation and composition skills. Teachers of mathematics stressed different aspects of basic courses, thus giving us a deeper understanding of fundamentals and preparing us for a future in a highly complex world of automation. However, the interest of the faculty members in us extends far beyond academic instruction; they offer us guidance and assistance in a variety of ways. They set high goals for us to strive toward and high ideals for us to follow through clubs, classrooms, and private conferences. Members of the faculty stand among our most ardent supporters and best friends. Although most aspects of school life change from year to year, we find the faculty members always ready to instruct, advise, and encourage us with an unchanging willingness. 8
