As traveling time diminishes because of improved transportation, the need for communications with non- English speaking countries increases. The foreign language department meets this need by offering four languages at four levels of study. Besides teaching basic grammar and vocabulary, language teachers use commercial films, records, and their own personal slides to familiarize their students with the geography, culture, and people of other nations. Because of the effort of the social science and foreign language teachers, students are more con- scious of the cultural heritage of other nations, as well as that of their ow n.

Self-Expression Through Composition Under the supervision of Mr John Adam, head of the department of English and speech, the English curricu- lum was revised to update course description and goals and to aid incoming teachers. In order to stress reading, units in individual reading were conducted by some English teachers. New choices for study of the novel were Joseph Andrews, April Morning, Travels With Charlie, and A Separate Peace. With a demand for more speech courses, the curricu- lum was enlarged to include Basic Speech, Public Speaking, Oral Interpretation and Acting, and Argu- mentation and Debate. Oral English was condensed from a weekly course to three consecutive weeks, in which the honors and journalism classes also partici- pated. The music department also had some revision. Mr. Calvin Hedegaard took over as the new director of concert and acapella choir. Mr. L. H Dilulio and Mr. Merle Wegener directed the creation of new marching routines for the half-time programs at football games at Browning Field. The band also obtained new uni- forms this year.
