She and 138 other volunteers took an extensive nine-week training course last summer at Columbia University Teachers College in New York. They were taught the history, culture, and traditions of Nigeria, and Bini, one of its principal languages. All of us are proud of Mrs. Snider and wish her well in this new chapter of an already interesting life.

ENGLISH ENCOURAGES SELF-EXPRESSION Many students are painfully familiar with the Senior English Review Exercises and its unending analogies and synonyms or with the verbatim interpretation of JULIUS CAESAR, HAMLET, or MACBETH. Less familiar are the drama, speech, and journalism courses also offered by the English department. The purpose of the drama program is to create an appreciation for theatrical productions, to prepare a background for literature, and to stimulate the student’s creativity. Assignments requiring much thought, as the portrayal of a widowed bride or personifying an emo- tion, make this elective far from an easy course. Not only concerned with dramatic interpretation, the course involves a study of the anatomy of the theatre. Two dramatic productions, usually a musical and two one-act plays, are sponsored by this department each year. Speech classes are offered to make the student feel at ease when speaking before a group. Not only are prepared speeches and debates required, but extempor- aneous ones with as little as five minutes notice. Journalism courses encourage creativity through the writing of news articles and factual essays. THE LITTLE HATCHET, George Washington’s literary magazine, and THE SURVEYOR, the school newspaper, are produced by this department Et tu, Stuarte,” gasps Marty Yingling fiercely to Stuart Samuels.

KATHERINE APPERSON Algebra, Plane Geometry, COMPASS Ad Staff Sponsor, Faculty Remembrance Committee MR. WILLIAM BURRUSS General Mathematics, Algebra, Plane Geometry, Crew Coach, Superintendent’s Advisory Council, Faculty Council MRS. ELIZABETH GENUNG Algebra, General Mathematics, Remembrance Committee Co-Chairman MRS. WAPELLA HOUCHINS General Mathematics, Algebra, Senior Class Co-Sponsor MISS THELMA MADDOX General Mathematics, Algebra MRS. EVELYN MONROE Algebra, General Mathematics, Caps and Gowns MRS. LILLIAN SANGER Algebra, Plane Geometry, School Store Sponsor MATHEMATICS INSPIRES CLEAR THOUGHT The Department of Mathematics of George Washington High School has, for many years, offered a comprehensive and varied program. Even though the basic and traditional pattern that has produced so many out- standing mathematicians in the past is still adhered to, modification of concepts and procedures in keeping with trends in the atomic age have been introduced and incorporated in the mathematics curriculum. Modern-day teaching devices, including film strips, delineascopes and others are being used to illustrate and enhance the many new concepts being introduced to students. With the thought in mind of providing, as nearly as possible, for the needs of each individual student, sufficient flexibility is built into the courses of study of the mathematics department, so each student can, within his capability, enjoy a feeling of success and accomplishment and, at the same time, prepare himself for a useful and purposeful future.
