ENGLISH DEPARTMENT HAS ACTIVE YEAR ■ Mr. Charles Anderson Chairman Mr. Joseph Bigham Mr. Allen Berg The English Department has played an important role in every student's academic program. It has also made great progress in rounding out the student by introducing literary achievements in areas other than books. Full-length movies have found a part in our curriculum. Citizen Kane, Treasure of Sierra Madre, The Mouse That Roared, O'Henry's Full House, Great Expectations, Johnny Tremain, and Raisin In the Sun were viewed by the Longwood student audiences. Field trips this year have been numerous. On the trips to New York City, students saw Barefoot In the Park, Fiddler On the Roof, Romeo and Juliet (presented by the Old Vic Repertory Company), and the Andrew Wyeth Show at the Whitney Museum. You Can’t Take It With You was seen at a neighboring high school. The students who took part in the annual trip to the Shakespearean Theater in Stratford, Connecticut, saw Midsummer Night's Dream. The Emerald Eye has been issued monthly, and Horizons has now been increased to two issues yearly. Electives in drama, journalism, and cinematography for twelfth year students are being planned.

LONG WOOD'S LINGUISTS OFFER VARIED PROGRAM The purpose of the Foreign Language Department is to teach the student howto speak, read, and write the language. Filmstrips, records, and tapes are used to supplement the textbook material. A knowledge of the foreign country's cultural background and present-day events are also a part of the curriculum. The language laboratory helps to develop pronunciation, comprehension, and fluency. An advanced course is offered to fifth-year students who work on independent reading of classical and contemporary works. The French Club has taken a trip to New York to see a French film entitled, Un Homme, Une Femme, followed by a dinner at the restaurant in the United Nations. The Spanish students went on a field trip to Adelphi University in Garden City to see La Dama Boba . They also took an all-day excursion to see the Man From La Mancha in New York City. « Mrs. Louise Curtiss Mrs. Charlotte Rasmussen Mr. Norman Rifkin Chairman Mrs. Nellie Paulonis Mr. Michael Freer Mrs. Nancy Walter
