MR. TLUSTY indulges in his love of gardening as he feeds the carnivorous plants in his terrarium. IN QUIET moments, Mr. Harris reviews the records of the students assigned to him. Public Speaking, Journalism, and Creative Writing In the third year of operation, Marshall has ex¬ panded its curriculum to include new ideas in edu¬ cation. Courses are designed to provide training for the entire student body based upon present needs and future plans. Through the World Civiliza¬ tion and American Civilization courses, students have an opportunity to make parallel studies in his¬ tory, literature, philosophy and fine art. The mathematics courses offered this year em¬ body many of the new theories and techniques of modern learning in this field. Science moves for¬ ward changing and adjusting its content to meet the needs of the students enrolled. The English department has embarked upon a pro¬ gram of emphasis on writing and has held confer¬ ences with other departments to help standardize checking procedure. Marshall has one of the most inclusive vocational programs in this area, including a special course in vocational electronics for post-graduates. The busi¬ ness department makes a concerted effort to equip its students for their role in the working world. In physical education, young men and women experience the joys and rigors of physical training and development. Creative drive and esthetic enjoyment are not neglected here at Marshall, but are nurtured, and encouraged through music, drama and art. For the first time Senior Art has been scheduled. Then there is Home Economics where young ladies experiment with materials and ideas, both in the kitchen and sewing room. In the foreign language department, audio equip¬ ment proves to be an invaluable aid to both teach¬ ers and young linguists. Because each year brings new responsibilities, curriculum adjustments are made to cope with changing conditions. Marshall strives to meet this goal. 188
