Miss Coughlin Miss Eggleston Mrs. Hart Mrs. Hayward Drama seasons English studies The English department emphasized an inter- est in drama and took various field trips to see several well-known plays. In October, two groups of students went to see a film of the play “Oedipus the King” at the Westhampton Theater. In January, senior classes attended a matinee performance of “Hamlet” as interpreted by pro- fessional actors. Among the new teachers in the English de- partment was Mrs. Hayward who took a partic- ular interest in the study of these plays. Mrs. Hayward was an amateur actress at the Barksdale Theater. Other new teachers were Miss Coughlin who taught a French class, Mrs. Hart, Miss Eggleston and Mrs. Jackson. VIRGINIA M.

20 Languages add to students’ knowledge of world affairs Communication is an essential part of life and a wider knowledge of languages was offered to John Marshall students. Not only grammar and literature were included in these courses, but also a study of history, culture and customs was taught to enrich the student's understanding of life in other parts of the world. Teachers showed slides and films to complement foreign studies. To improve pronunciation and oral compre- hension, classes were taken into the language labs where they listened to tapes and records. Special students taking a language since ele- mentary school were placed in advanced classes. JAMES C. HARWOOD, B.A., University of Rich- mond, Key Club. Sponsor, Head of Language Department.
