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.

Emphasis On Spoken Language Although many educated persons the world over comprehend English, there are millions more who do not do so, and who comprehend other languages, such as Greek, French, and Swahili. As it is impossible for a school to teach all languages, or for a student to understand or need them all, the school must choose a few languages to teach to its pupils. The curriculum of the Greenhill Language Department includes French, Spanish, Latin, and Russian. Mr. joe Gonzales, Chairman of the Language Department, plans for language courses to emphasize spoken and aural language more and more in the future. To this end, equipment has been placed in the language lab, allowing teachers to record passages of their own for their students to listen to. To enable students to speak their languages more often in class, the classes must be of small size. Small size implies more classes, which implies more teachers. This year, Peggy Unsworth is the newest teacher in the Department. The basic goal of any language department is to teach its students the foreign language of their choice. There is more than one way to teach language, but the most effective method seems to be the one Greenhill has chosen, which maintains the language lab at the center of its program. jackie Benning Beth Boswell Gloria Boyd Adv . .
