YVONNE C. FIDALGO B.A., American University Department Chairman ENGUSH DEPARTMENT The English Department tried in its first year to broaden its curriculum and augment the usual dust and grammar of high school English. First of all, team teaching was introduced to two junior classes. In these the instruction in English and History were coordinated. Developing the inter- relation of the arts, a lecture by a member of the Art Department on the history of art was given to all English classes. The department also sponsored field trips to universities in the area, to plays, and to concerts. In the planning stages also is an advanced place- ment senior English class to be inaugurated in 1965-1966. The person most responsible for the success of the department is Mrs. Yvonne C. Fidalgo, fondly known as ‘‘Queenie’’ by all her loyal subjects. She gives the objectives of the English Department as these: to teach the individual student to read and listen with understanding; to think rationally; to speak and write well; to appreciate literature and language; and to be prepared to take his place as an active citizen of the c ommunity.
