English program to be expanded The addition of two new courses, Read, Think, and Write, and Faces of Evil represented the major change in the English Department. However, there will be a significant restructuring within the department next year. According to Dr. Howarth, depart- ment chairman, a change was in- stituted to insure that students would be exposed to all English skills, extending those presently taught in the existing elective program. Students will be re- quired-to take one course from each of four categories: Language Roy Howarth Department Chairman, NHS Rollin Aleshire Carolyn Calhoun Debate Patricia Collins SAVE Richard De Roo Lynn Dieter Student Council Helen Dobbins Robert Dollaske Ouroboros Varsity Soccer Clark Duncan james Farrell Ski Club Elizabeth Goerss Gail Colman Lens Paul Healy Heidi Hutson Pioneer, Quill and Scroll Charles Kessler Sophomore Soccer Leona Laouras junior Class Sponsor ll.

Field trips broaden cultural knowledge The University of Strasbourg in France will host Maine East French and German students for the month of July. A group of students, accompanied by Mrs. Steinhart, will study at the university in the natural setting of the language. Enrollment of students in foreign languages re- mained about the same as last year, although Mr. Anderson felt they had a better and more positive attitude this year. Some third, fourth, and fifth year classes were again combined because of limited enrollment in the courses. Field trips broadened the cultural aspects of many of the foreign languages. French students visited the Art Institute, ate in a French Res- taurant, and attended a French movie. Spanish students also toured the Art Institute and ate in Spanish or Mexican Restaurants. Italian students attended an opera entitled Orfeo ed Euridicef' Participation in the National Italian Contest brought some students to Loyola University. Latin, Hebrew, and Russian were also taught again.
