Class Aids Thought And Communication Various deviations from regular curriculum en- riched Northwood's English classes this year. Several twelfth grade classes enjoyed both Hamlet and Mac- beth at the movies, while Miss Ruddle's seniors visited the Folger Library in Washington, D.C., to study books, paintings, and antiques ofthe Shake- spearian era. Showing an appreciation for drama, Mrs. Pascucci's eleventh graders enjoyed Miller's i'After the Falli' at the National Theater. Students also attempted their own performances of plays studied in class, such as Riders to the Sea and The Glass Menagerief, All English classes, regardless of grade level, perfected writing skills with two goals in mind- the Scholastic Magazine's Writing Awards Contest and Reflections, Northwood's literary magazine. Writings for each were approved by English teachers before entry. Vacation activities helped teachers make their classes more interesting and stimulating. Mrs. Kosof- sky, working for her Master's degree, took a course in American Literature at Maryland University last summer, while Miss Ruddle headed a camp paper in Pendleton, Virginia. Mrs. Bond traveled to the Mid- West, visiting Mark Twain's home as well as the cave where he was inspired to write Tom Sawyer. Mr. Holland checks semester exams with his eleventh grade English class. Enjoying Lardner's Zone of Quiet, Miss Schmiedeler instructs a class. Academics

Culture Enriches the Language Curriculum Extensive reading formed a large part of North- wood's language curriculum. Mrs. Boone's Classes concentrated on Moliere's plays, Le Bourgeois Gentil- homme and Tartuffe. Mrs. Spector's classes enjoyed singing French songs. Spanish classes, like beginning French classes, studied from dialogues. A regular text served as a helpful supplement in the German department.

Learning along with their students, Mrs. Spector studied twentieth century French literature at Mary- land University, while Mrs. Ward visited Spain last summer after attending a foreign language workshop. Meeting the French people while learning their language, Mrs. Johnson studied two years in Paris at the Sorbonne before coming to Northwood. Margaret E.
