MR. WILLIAM CLARK Chairman ENGLISH DEPARTMENT In pursuing its goal of teaching students to read and write more effectively, the English Department has found itself rebuilding and experimenting in 1963-64. In connection with a system-wide curriculum revision, the members of the department have revised virtually every phase of the high school course of study. They have diversified the books available for classroom study now, though there are certain books which are required reading for all students, teachers may choose from a wide range of supplementary' read- ings those books which best suit the ability and in- terests of their classes. There has been considerable experimentation by individual teachers, by English teachers working in teams with Social Studies teach- ers, and by English teachers working in teams with other English teachers.

MISS JOYCE FONTAINE Chairman MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT The Mathematics Department at North Haven High School is proud of its record of being one of the first schools in the country to use the new approach to mathematics. This approach not only teaches the stu- dent the “how” of performing the various operations hut also the “why.” Today this method of teaching mathematics is not only used in our school, but in schools all over the country. In addition to this new approach to mathematics, students at North Haven are grouped according to their ability. There are slow, average, and advanced classes so that the student moves along at his own rate and can get a firmer grasp of the subject mat- ter. Seniors in the advanced program study Matrix Algebra and other advanced topics in Math V. MRS. HELEN GOLD MR. EDWIN DUDLEY MR. ALPHONSE MR BERNARD GILBRIDE CANNAVACIOLO “Hmmmm ....
