Since this year, when English was taught to fifteen students who were predominantly Spanish speaking, although other languages were represented. Volunteers from the AP English class worked individually with the students everyday during 4B. The object of the class was to enable the foreign students to understand English well enough to participate fully in the classroom and the community. To the rest of us for whom English is not a foreign language fdiflicult, but not alienj, the English department had much to offer. As department head, Mr. Nalls introduced several new methods of teaching and learning English. The new concepts included modular scheduling and a new writing curriculum for every level of study. The inter-relation of social studies and English was used more widely than ever before. li TW w fx Mr. Nalls: head of the English department. Q, l

Mr Pritchard Mr. Varner Mr. Vliet social studies No longer can upperclassmen warn lowly freshmen of the perils they will encounter in their world geography class. World geography no longer exists at J .E.B. Stuart. It has been replaced by world history. A primary reason for this change, according to department head Miss Roberts, is that a background in world history is most helpful for a comprehensive understanding of American history, a course required of all juniors. Congratulations are in order to those American Civilization students who made the renowned iilm on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This project tied in with the department's idea that there is more social studies to be learned than what is in the textbook.
