Added to courses offered in Hebrew, Italian, German, French, Latin, and Spanish are Hebrew I and Italian III and IV advanced. In addition, the department now has its own resource center. This place provides remedial and enrichment work, areas for independent study, and a growing library of books, magazines, and records in the different languages. In the first and second year of language study, the areas of grammar and structure are explored. During the third and fourth year, the students are introduced to poems, novels, and plays which are studied in depth. Our community is also used as a cultural resource. Students may become familiar with a country and its customs through their association with community members whose backgrounds may include a country being studied. This year the language department would like to extend a warm welcome to Mrs. Rhena Mermelstein, our new Hebrew teacher. Mrs. Rita C.

Social Studies ... Mr. Louis Lanzalotto Advanced American History Department Chairman Track Ms. RoseAnn Bostonian Psychology Girls Varsity Basketball Mr. Dale L. Carlberg, Jr. American History Political Science World Government Mr. David W. Clark American History Bicycle Club Bowling Club “Look to the future, look at the present, look at the past,” aptly describes the sentiments of Paramus High School’s Social Studies department. Our future depends on the new generation; therefore, the department aims at instilling the students with an awareness of the world, its people, and its problems, through the study of the past, and an analysis of the present. To do this, the Social Studies department, under the adroit supervision of Mr. L. Lanzalotto, offers a diversified and chal¬ lenging curriculum. Courses may be elected in Sociology, Psychology, Civics, Economic Geography, and Political Science. All students must fulfill the two year American History require¬ ment. Seniors may elect the full year history course, or four of the newly innovated electives. These include: Black America, Twentieth Century Change, Comparative Religions in America, Crime and Justice, Sources of American Thought, and America Strives for World Peace. Also, new this year is the Social Studies Resource Center. In its first year it has become a mecca for research, academic aid, and stimulating discussions. Our Social Studies department combines the past and the present for a better understanding of today and tomorrow. Mr. Richard Cohen Economics U. S. History I Mr. John S.
