linglish and Language Departments shared a common goal this year-preparing North Centralites for com- munication challenges to he met in an adult world- reading, writing, speaking, and listening well in both their native and a foreign tongue. English teachers explored exciting new fields, combining classes to share specialized knowledge: setting up an intensive program of directed outside reading, doubling the Developmental Reading facilities, and initiating the use of paper-bound volumes of classics purchased by the library. Language teachers concentrated on developing skill in speaking, reading, and writing French, Spanish, Ger- man, Russian, and Latin, while acquainting pupils with the customs, civilization, and history of the various countries involved. A language lah was the fall, 1960, goal. Both departments used university consultants for curriculum advice.

XVith this in mind. the Business Depart- ment set a more-than-adequate curriculum consisting of shorthand and typing, business law, bookkeeping, salesmanship, office machines and clerical practice, adding personalized typing as a one-semester course. College bound people were given an excellent social studies background with such subjects' as sociology, psychology, history, and economics. Both departments arranged interesting field trips. The Business Depart- ment also pioneered in closed circuit TV with an exhi- hition typing lesson taught by Dr. James Crawford of l.U. Dona Miller and lid Bailey interview Attorney General lidwin K.
