This experiment is an exception as Mr. Bryan strongly opposes amateur hypnotism. Understanding oneself and the pro- blems that surround people ploy an important role in the maturing of one's body and mind. Since nobody truly knows himself, a new and ex- perimental course was added to the curriculum this year. It is a com- bined psychology-economics class in which the student spends one half school year in each area. The psychology program is aimed at helping students better understand the forces surrounding them and how they affect one's action, beliefs, and personal standards. Economics is concerned with ac- quainting students with the business part of their society. Lectures on modern production, collective bar- gaining, and government aid pro- grams serve as a basis toward learn- ing the phases of universal economic systems.

Two book reports are required every quarter in the various fields of English literature. 23 Harding's English department offers many opportunities for development to students each year. A broad background of grammar as well as the study of the various elements of literature are covered in depth by sophomore English classes. American literature along with the development of the American mind and culture is introduced to the iuniors. Senior English classes are concerned mostly with American drama, short stories, and novels. Shakespeare's MacBeth is used by all senior English teachers and is studied intensely by their students. Panel discussions, char- acter analysis, and reports highlight the literature classes. Mr.William Reynold's advanced English l2 class added a slight twist to their encounter with MacBeth by acting out their version of the play. Under the direction ofMr.DavidWnuk, a new and entirely different advanced English class for seniors was added to the curriculum. lt is designed to help the students develop writing techniques as well as to discover their own sense of individuality. Whatever walk of life a person selects, a good English background works to provide a basic foundation for success.

Though not ot- ficially a subiect, Latin has also been made available toafew select students this year. With the help of the new and modern language laboratory, in- structors attempt to teach the pupils to write, speak, and thinkin another communication form. Along with the knowledge of a foreign language comes a better understanding of English. The goal of the language department is to provide the students with ageneral vocabulary background as well as a basic working knowledge of the grammar elements involved. Reciting a conversation in the Spanish language are advanced students Joan Bill, Steve Isaacson and Rita Fuller. Students are not only educated in the fundamentals of the Spanish language but also gain insight into the culture and history of Mexico. 25 t
