Buchanan Emphasizes wareness Of Culture Ray Buchanan, the new head of the History Department, has said that the department is oriented toward giving each individual an awareness of his or her role in Western society, an awareness of the organization and history of Occidental culture, an awareness of the development of other major cultures, and an awareness of the interaction between them and Western culture in America. Grades one through three concentrate on learning about the workings of the family, in later grades, the meaning of 'family' is extended to be synonymous with 'community' and 'nationf Grades four through seven study the history of Western culture in general, America and Texas in particular. Students in eighth grade learn about Third World culture - especially about Chinese, Indian, and African cultures. Dr. Buchanan believes that the academic atmosphere which pervades Greenhill is caused by the attitudes of its faculty. He feels that its teachers are all excellent and interesting people, are interested in subjects both in and out of their academic fields, and who do their jobs admirablyg they create this valuable awareness of culture.

Science Revises Courses And Employs ew Teachers Three new teachers were introduced into the Science department this year. They were Mr. Mark Kelly, Miss Kathy Murphy, Ms. Linda Carlton. Mr. Kelly taught Meteorology, Geology, and Advanced Biology in the Upper School. Kathy Murphy taught in the second grade, Ms. Carlton taught in the sixth. This year, Rick Flanagan taught the sophomore Biology classes and the course was slightly modified. This was also the case in eleventh grade Chemistry, where the change was caused by the introduction of a new chemistry text, Besides modifying his chemistry course, Mr. Horner reoriented his Advanced Chemistry class: the students continued with the subjects they learned in regular chemistry, but they no longer did so with an eye to obtaining advanced placement in college.
