Miss Mary Tribble Serves as Actir Mary G. Tribble Emmanuel College—B.A., M.A. Interim English Dept. Head Blue and Gold Adviser Walter C. Ryan Boston College—B.A. English Department Head The English Department, twenty-one strong, welcomed the arrival of only one new teacher this year, Mrs. Warren Kaplan. Because of the absence of Mr. Walter Ryan, Miss Mary Tribble, who is the adviser to the Blue and Gold, served as acting head of the English Department. The two major programs offered were College and General, with three new minor courses having been set up. The first, an American Studies course offered to Junior college students, was taught by Mr. Duffy and Mr. O’Donnell in two successive periods. Its main objective was to provide a total picture of the American scene through American History and Literature. Although the course featured lectures from the Music and Art Departments, the students also read the required books on the standard Junior book list. A commercial English course was taught by Mr. Rogers, and planned in conjunction with Mrs. Moore’s and Mr. Sacco’s Departments. The two top commercial classes participated in this course, which stressed English for business. Students who had failed English in the General Course were allowed to take either English 2 and 3 or English 3 and 4 together in one year. Since proficiency in English is required for college and jobs after graduation, English students were required to write one composition a week. Audiovisual aids, coordinated by Mr. Arthur Freedman, supplemented many English classes. Through the use of phonographs and records, the plays that the students read became more vivid. 18 WELCOME to the English Department, Mrs. Kaplan.
