This year the Language Department has under- gone a complete reorganization. All courses have been carefully re-outlined. Mr, Leslie, the head of the de- partment, has spent a great deal of time planning and writing Lo make the language department a strong unit in the school. The department has emphasized vocabulary and pronunciation greatly, as well as grammar. The specific order of approach is under- standing, speaking, reading, and writing. In this spe- cific order the student proceeds from one logical unit to the next. Students are encouraged to research their own grammar. The object is to make the student a re- sponsible self-educator, less dependent on the teacher who is rapidly becoming an instructor of profitable methods of study. The excellent Language Laboratory facilities have replaced the old fashioned drill master. An up-to-date Tape Library provides each student with as many as two dozen private native tutors with whom he can spend as much time as he wishes in an elec- tronic booth or at home. Mr. Leslie is currently teaching Spanish III and IV as well as French III. His classes are lively and very inspiring. Mme. Marissael has classes in French II, III, IV. Her great personality adds to the vivaciousness of her classes. Mr. Bullion has all Spanish I this year and his students learn all the basic vocabulary and grammar needed to successfully enter Spanish II. Mr. McCleery teaches Latin A, V, I, II, and III. Mr. Mc- Cleery runs some of the greatest classes in the school. After a student has had a course from this dedicated man, he knows he has really learned something. Mr. Kirkpatrick started his teaching career with a class of Spanish A, and shows great promise for the future, Mr. Aiken also taught a Spanish A class, as well as his Art classes. Mrs. Chalmers and Mme. Mancinelli together taught all the French A classes. Fr. Edwards prepared many boys for Mr. Leslie in his Spanish II classes. Mme. Marissael Mr. Leslie Mr. McCleery i

Mr. Stewart MATHEMATICS When the class of 1968 returned for their senior year, they found a familiar face and voice gone from the Math Department. After sixteen years of superior teaching, Taylor Cole had returned to Philadelphia. This loss to the department along with the part time loan of Mr. Roberts to the Science Dept., caused a general shifting of courses taught by the math teachers. Mr. Carlson dumb- founded the math analysis and pre-calculus classes with his easy', tests. Mr. Hays lost many chances to say Muse X manj, as he taught three sections of geometry. Mr. Mc- Cosker began his teaching career with 8th grade math, and algebra II. Dr. Conconi met students of many levels teaching '7th grade math, algebra I, and geometry. Mr. Radstrom finally passed,'7th grade math and taught some algebra I classes, as well as the '7th graders. Mr. Roberts continued to teach the English version of algebra II. Mr. Stewart played the field from algebra I and II, to prob- ability and statistics, to calculus. In the experimental stage, One of the alge- bra I sections was made into a combination algebra and geometry course to be taught over a two year period. Bob Keefer won a One Hundred dollar prize for Sth place in the Claremont Men's College Mathematics Competition. A five man team of Takata Hashimoto, Sean Smith, Bill Russell, Dave Linker and Bob Keefer placed second in the schools under the '70O enrollment division of the Occidental Math Field Day. f -rw Q 'e P23 gif fy . tw Q, xi l W, get , BX?
