After 31 years at Harrison High and seven as department head, Mr. Eldredge has retired. He leaves behind a rapidly changing department — one characterized by new methods and materials. Miss DiPace will be the new department head next year. Thirty-five students participated in the annual United Na- tions Contest this year. The program included three weeks of individual study, group study sessions, and a trip to U N. headquarters in New York City. New texts have been used, such as the two volume Ameri- can History book, for accelerated juniors and seniors. Em- phasis was placed on primary source material. Two new teachers joined the department this year. The first of these was Mr. Keymer who taught at Harrison half of last year and therefore is not really new. The second was Mr. Paul who is not to be confused with Mr. Pauls but who is anyway. World History class holds panel discussion on current events. 17
