Was it that funny. Debbie? The aims of the English Department this year were to help the student answer the questions: Who am I? and Where am I going?'' through a development of basic skills. This was possible by correlating these skills with interests in the living arts, the humanities and the social sciences. By coalescing English with other academic departments, the student was aided in expressing and realizing himself in our intricate society. This year required English covered the world of literature including European, American, and Con- temporary works. Classes extended across five levels: Advanced Placement College English. Honors, College Preparatory, General and Tri-English. Many electives were also available. Among them were English-American Literature, Speech-Drama, Journal- ism, English Composition and English Workshop. Next year, a variety of mods may include work- shops on such things as Shakespeare and poetry. Mr. Herbert Reed Mr. Edmund Rezetko Laying the Foundation Seniors relax in A. P.

Mr. Joseph Piserchia Mr. Leon Snead Mr. Jack Tunstall The primary objective of the Social Studies De- partment this year was to prepare the student for competition in both the academic and the business worlds. The challenges of this competition were dealt with in both the required courses of World History or Cultures and United States History I and II and in a wide selection of electives. This year’s electives have been revised though, so that the 1971-1972 schedule will include Black History, Sociology, Psychology, Economics, and Government. American Studies, a combination of English III and U.S. History I will be evaluated and reinstituted on the senior level in two years. Further plans went into the making for mid- semester courses and independent study projects, as well as for more audio-visual aids in the class- room and incorporated minority histories. 29
