New Ideas And Goals To FSH MR. LOUIS JULIAN Vice-Principal Sailing along on the wind of change is our new vice-principal, Mr. Louis Julian. Now in his sixth year at Fairmont Senior, Mr. Julian came to us as an instructor in civics, and as a coach for baseball and junior varsity basketball. Mr. Julian (A.B., M.S.) assumes the role of vice-principal with much authority, overseeing many school functions, and handling many atten- dance problems. Fairmont Senior is fortunate to have as deans this year Miss Madeline Oliverio and Mr. Anthony Delligatti. Aside from their many duties in solving students' problems and looking after students' needs, they each find time to teach and to participate in extracurricular activities. Miss Oliverio (B.S., M.A.) instructs Shorthand I and sponsors National Fionor Society, while Mr. Delligatti teaches World Geography and serves as an assistant coach for the varsity football squad, and as coach for the freshmen basketball team. Familiar to all and respected by all is our secretary, Mrs. Betty Eddy. Handling the many written correspondences and periodical reports for the school, Mrs. Eddy still finds time to sell a stamp at lunch or to write a permit to leave the building. Our school without Mrs. Eddy would not seem like our school at all. As Treasurer, Mrs. Nancy Saunders keeps accurate records of the school's financial undertakings. She handles money for all the clubs and organizations, as well as the daily intake from the lunch programs.

Phase English Highlights FRANKIE LlC BABCOCK PATRICIA BELOT Curriculum MARIAN BELTON BARBARA BENNETT The English Department at FSH introduced a new teaching program this year known as Phase English. This non-graded phase concept is predicated on the thesis that student needs, interests, and abilities overlap chronological age and grade levels. The program covers four major divisions of literature: poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and drama, and groups sophomores, juniors, and seniors according to their learning abilities and achievement records. The phase program is divided into four curriculums, each on a rotating schedule, and each identified with a numerical coefficient which describes difficulty of course only. Nine teachers, under the supervision of Mrs. Marion Belton, keep the phase program going. Each year's work is completely different for three years, and then the cycle is repeated. Since the phase program is offered only to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, freshmen may choose either a general or an honor English course. The Phase English program has added much to the curriculum at FSH, and its basic principles will hopefully be used by other subject fields in forthcoming years.
