Many Changes The world is shrinking—or so they tell us anyway. As knowledge of o foreign language is becoming more and more im- portant, the Foreign Language Depart- ment has instituted many changes. ALM was joined by an audio-lingual program by McGraw-Hill. Both methods use tapes, records, and filmstrips to supplement the conventional textbook. A new fourth-year class was added to the regular French and Spanish classes. This was done to accom- modate those students who wish to con- tinue their language study but are not in the Advanced Placement program. With these two new classes came two new teachers. Miss Camejo and Mrs. Burton. This was the last year German was of- fered. It is being discontinued because a school of our size cannot support a pro- gram offering four modern languages. And by the way, this seems to have been the year for Romance language teach- ers. Cries for best wishes were common around Harrison High during a year in which Miss Coloccia became Mrs. Morlet and Miss Gangemi became the wife of our yearbook advisor, Mr. McKiernan. Carrying on this new trend . Miss Green- man has become engaged to Mr. Chiam- balero of the Science Department.

Mrs. Lois Harrison Shorthand II Transcription Business Arithmetic Office Practice This year's Business Department continued its practice of preparing students for entrance into the busi- ness world by offering courses such as typing, shorthand, business mathe- matics and law. Another job of the department was the maintenance of the school store under sponsor Mr. Zambernardi. This year, general read- ing books were added to the academic ones the store has always carried. In addition to Harrison High book covers and loose-leafs, the store handled the sale of school jackets. In the store, the students put the skills they learned in class to work, gaining valuable busi- ness experience. This was just one of the many ways in which the Business Department prepared students for fu- ture jobs. 26
