Administration Concentrates on Curriculum Innovations sv QQ? 'Wttzr Philip De5antis John E. Dugan Activities C0-ordinalor Principal Ks Thomas Maggy, Paul Vandermark Assistant Principal Assistant Principal Thr Administration contmutd tht tremendous projevt of updating tht- sehool. This year. modern ed- uvational approavhes were used to avveitttiate thc relex'z1r1r'r- oltotirst-s. Partieularly in English and His- tory vlasses, reliance on thc olrl standards was dis- couraged. instead, multi-tc-xt courses and applied films were initiated. With student lrody vontavts, the Administration's involvement in thc Student-Faculty Advisory rom- mittef' resulted in many ehanges. By introduving tht- Mini-Coursvs, tht- Administration brought some rf-- lireshing. untried ideas into tht- traditional study halls. These brief' courses were seleelerl by the stu- dents lrom a list prepared ln que-stiotmaircs virctilat- ed long helore. They entailed neither avadc-mit' ered- it. nor homework. However, they would not have been feasible with- out another Administration breakthrough f the new study' hall program. Free studies relvasetl the stu- dent from the tedious boredom ol' classroom studies. For the Administration, it was a year of' Curriculum rejuvenation.
