RUTH PENCE MISS ANNIE POWELL Horizons in English Extended Several new features were added to the curriculum of the English Department. An advanced placement class, working on the college level, has been introduced to senior English classes under the instruction of Mrs. Yvonne C. Fidalgo. On a junior class level, an experi¬ mental program is being added to the curriculum. The team teaching program synchronizes the times of study of Mrs. McCullough’s classes and Col. Callaham’s classes in order to provide a deeper understanding and apprecia¬ tion of the relation between American history and Amer¬ ican literature. Aside from class studies, English classes took advantage of the dramatic performances staged by the students of Catholic University in Washington, D. C. This year’s performances began with “The Way of the World,” which broadened the students’ experiences in the world of the theater.

The curriculum is planned emphasizing the import¬ ance of the major scientific principles, their discovery, and application as preparation for the role of science in the evolving atomic and space age.
