Mr. Wittern is a typically busy depart- ment chairman, whose duties include organiz- ing and presiding at monthly meetings, visiting English classes, assisting P.H.S.'s new teachers, and, in general, conducting the affairs of the de- partment. An outstanding feature of Pleasant- vi1le's English Department is the team teaching of novels, whereby one teacher gives lectures on a novel to all classes. This system was in- augurated in our school three years ago and has been continued with great success. This, too, is under Mr. Wittern's direction, and adds to his already busy schedule.

Smile . . . How about thatf' Due to the many major advances in Science today, the burden on this department has been vastly increased. Even with summer founda- tion work, Saturday courses, and numerous publications, our teachers find it difficult to keep abreast of current findings. From Physics' PSSC courses to AIBS fAmerican Institute of Biological Sciencesj and Chemical Bonding courses, the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science is continually introduc- ing more complex work for the teacher and student. It is hoped that such aids as Team Teaching and closed-circuit television may re- lieve some of the instruction problems caused by limited space.
