MISS MARY C. FOLEY Head English English has never been considered more important than it is today in this nuclear age. The need for clear, direct communication and true under- standing and respect for the individual and groups can be fostered by train- ing in effective speech and writing and in the reading skills. Literature, both classic and modern, is Hthe laboratory course in human nature which helps everyone to understand humanity, past and present. This year the English Department has made use of films, Hlmstrips. recordings of poetry and plays, and speed reading devices. An overhead projector has been used to illustrate the structure and use of language in student themes and tests. English is not only basic to all other subjects, but is a dynamic course in itself. The New York Regents examination for seniors this year is called Comprehensive English, an apt name for the goal of our Iohn Marshall English Department. MR. IOI-IN ALLEN MRS. ANNA BROWN MRS.

.ru-'th MR. CHARLES W. PFLAUM Head MISS MARY ANN BOYLE i Mathematics The mathematics which we teach at Iohn Marshall is part of the con- tinuum of mathematical knowledge to which the child should first be introduced in kindergarten, and which should continue until he completes his formal education. Since each individual will differ in the ease and ability with which he will master mathematics we have three levels of work: Regents, non- regents, and remedial. It is our object to give to each young person the ' opportunity to rise to the maximum degree of development of which he or she is capable. For the unusually gifted we provide the opportunity to study calculus, so that advanced mathematics and physics may be studied with the proper tools at hand. We further divide the regents groups into honors sections so that the more able students may study the subjects in depth. To properly assess each students ability we make use of all available tests, and mental measurements. To properly teach the courses, we have trained teachers, assisted by modern teaching aids and equipment. MR. JOSEPH H. CONROY MR. PAUL T. EPPING MR. MONROE I, LORD MRS. EDITH B.
