Continuing to work with the evaluation com¬ mittee’s report submitted last spring, an intensi¬ fied study of curriculum in relation to subject content and number of offered courses was begun by the various departments. As well as a written self-evaluation by teachers, spring confertmees were set up with the administration for joint evaluation. Schedules were this year formluated by elec¬ tronic maebines instead of being done by the administration. Each W’ednesday was reserved for departmental meetings, during which teachers had opportunity to co-ordinate their plans to aid i each other. With 19 new teachers as part of the facultv, and four new courses in the curri- ' culum, a broadening instruction program offered students greater benefits. MK. GEORGE M.
