Garland History Department Head Harvard University—B.A., M.A. The History Department, under the leadership of Mr. Ctrl Garland, has undergone several changes in its curriculum. Because of an increased interest in World Problems, Mr. O'Donnell and Mr. Evans, in addition to Mr. Guarino, taught classes in that subject. American Studies, a new course taught jointly during fifth and sixth periods by Mr. O'Donnell and Mr. Duffy, was organized to give the student a better understanding of literature through a background of History. At the beginning of this school year, a geography course, instructed by Mr. Trainor, was included in the History Department. Grace R. Ramsdcll Boston Univ.—B.S., M.A. Thomas E.

New Teaching Materials Introduced int Otto Ashcrman French University of Berlin—M.A. University of Vienna—Ph.D. Edward B. Galligan German Boston University—A.B., M.A. German Honor Adviser Edith T. Gray French Gymnase de VULmont Baccalaureateslettres Radcliffc Grad School—M.A. Barbara R. Holden Modern Language Dept. Head Colby College—A.B. Middlcbury College—A.M. Shifting the concentration from the traditional reading and writing to speaking and listening was a major change in the Modern Language Department this year. Under the guardianship of Miss Barbara R. Holden, the program was expanded, giving juniors the opportunity to study French 4. The ALM course was extended to include French 4. Through the purchasing of the text. Lire, Purler, ct P.crire, the EP method of teaching French was lengthened to a third year. Paperback books were bought to supplement the reading materials of the French classes. Two new teachers have been added to the staff, Mrs. Joan Gcist and Mrs. Edith Gray. Mr. Galligan returned from his trip to Germany, which was made possible by the Fulbright Exchange Teacher Grant. He found the teaching similar in the two countries, although the stress was on writing ability there and speaking here. The Latin Department, headed by Mr. James McCann, has undergone many changes. The University of Michigan supplied experimental materials, designed by high school teachers, to the department. This program exposed the students to authors not ordinarily found in the usual Latin course, in an effort to promote interest in the study of the language. BONJOUR . . . SALVE . . . GUTEN TAG.
