d,,,,,.u.N.. - Mr. Edward Roundy Mrs. Cynthia Pelczar Mr. Steven Metz Kingswood Athletics At the beginning of the school year we found a trend in our ath- letic program which, in one aspect, was a reflection of the school, and in another, a contradiction of what had been occurring in high schools throughout the nation, the trend being the drastic increase in the number of students trying-out and participating in our inter-scholastic teams. Our student population has grown rapidly, as it has everywhere, but throughout the nation, as reported in coaching and educational journals, fewer students were becoming involved in inter-scholastic sports. Could this be a reason? The students, faculty, and towns peoples Kings- wood serves are fortunate in having a dedicated, hard-working coaching staff who unselfishly sacrifice their time and energy to the students, their compensation being mostly in seeing their players improve and perform well. These past three seasons we participated in the traditional sports: basket- ball, skiing, baseball and track. New sports were club hockey, a gymnastics club and junior high girls, softball. By the time this goes to press, we may have a girls' track club. Our success lies in our enthusiasm and devotion to the same ideals.

Mrs. Dorothy Conery Mr. Herbert Petelle Mr. James Taylor Mr. Roger Person Mr. Robert Thomas Mr. Bruce Herrmann g The Math Department. . . experimented with a new approach to the teaching of general math. Essen- tially, the new approach centers around the mini-course set up. A given stu- dent must pass four of the eight offered mini-courses in order to receive one credit for general math. A durable feature of this new program is that it allows students an opportunity to get a fresh start every nine weeks.

Mr. Charles Churchill Mr. Lawrence Heath In English Classes . . . we met many different teachers fmostly malej and many teaching styles, yet a basic pattern ran through all the courses. In junior high we wrote haiku with the effervescent Mr. Lord and sat enthralled by Mr. Baintonls dramatic readingsg some of us became Super-girl or Super-boy in Mr. Buell's classes or worked on Scope crosswords with Mr. Ives. By grade 9, the Rev. Mr Heath made it clear as we read The Human Comedy that we were really in school to learn what it means to be a human being, and that we were study ing English to see how men have always expressed in language their truth: about themselves, about others, about the unknown, and about the world. As sophomores with the Rev. Mr. Wright or Mr. Al The Duke' Southard we tried to figure out why any poor native would throw back into the ocean that wonderful pearl. When Mr. Cool Coolidge worked with us on Ameri- can authors during our junior year, we got into some tough books and strug' gled to analyze them on four levels of difficulty. We did some role-playing with Mr. Chuck Churchill. Finally, as seniors, we found we really could understand Oedipus as well as the Bananafish,', and Mr. Quimby led us through the steps of analysis in written exposition. Some of us had special advanced courses in literature and composition with Mr. Bainton, or learned e QF!
