Knowledge, the essence o world honnony OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN ABOUT PEOPLE AND CULTURE If today's students are to know their World neighbors, they must have at least a working knowledge of the geo- graphy, history, government, and language of these and their own people and cultures. The social studies and the foreign language programs at King Philip offer all an op- portunity to learn in these content areas. Social studies courses are offered at all grade levels and include geography and government as well as American, World and European history. Modern foreign languages - French, Spanish, German, and Russian emphasize the oral and conversational skills as much as the written and literary. Latin is offered as a four year study to give students a knowledge of an ancient lan- guage and culture. King Philip's Social Studies Depart- ment rims the gamut from seventh grade geography to advanced senior courses in European History. Facul- ty members gathered around the symbolic globe, who teach social studies subjects are: Mr. Hugh Mc- Comb. Mr. john Dwyer, Mr. Francis Gallipeau, Mr. William Brennan, Mrs. Anita Weinman, Miss Loretta Cimini, Miss Clara Manteca, history department chairman, Mr. Richard Guilette, Miss Catherine Fitzpatrick, Miss Suzanne Person, Mr. Iames Femey, and Mr. jan Van der Beurghe.

Reading and Language Ants enhance learning Mrs. Barbara Popper, reading teacher, and Mrs. Alice Church, director of the developmental reading program, confer between classes. LANGUAGE ARTS A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM King Philip offers a sequentially developed Language Arts program in literature, composition, oral speaking, and grammar. Instruction is geared to student potential and achievement level. Communicative skills are basic to all learning. Once the fundamental concepts are learned, the student begins to enjoy and profit from the understandings which come to him from the great world of literature and language. EFFICIENCY AND POWER ARE KEYS TO BETTER READING SKILLS Reading skills must be developed to a level of efficiency and power if the student is to achieve in the required high school curriculum of studies. Greater emphasis is placed on the development of skills at all levels of learning. Plans are being formulated for the introduction of remedial- corrective program for the 1966-67 school year.

THINKING AND REASONING, IMPORTANT BY-PRODUCTS Scientihc and mathematical reasoning make for logical thinking. Although the knowledge gained in classes such as algebra and biology is of great value in itself, the ability to think and reason is an equally important by-product. It is with this thought in mind that the King Philip course offerings have been set up. 09 Mr. Anthony Paglione, head of the science departmentg Mr. Glen Kibler, Mr. Jeffery Lambert, Mr. Charles Vaillancourt, Mrs. Marcia Boynton, Mr. Harry Burry, Mrs. Stella Schwork, Mr. William Bren- nan, Mr. Lawrence Lerner, and Mr. Robert Creighton are proud of their bulletin board. fifiwiy SUENCE of -2 mi , 14
