ART VINCENT MODZELEWSKI, M.A. JOHN RESH, M.A. Columbia University Rutgers University Department Chairman The goal of the Art Department is to stimulate in each student, individually, a superior sense of creative attainment in art history, fine and applied arts. All must go together. Otherwise, the student does not easily become aware of tra- ditional knowledge, upon which the future development of art depends. There is no beginning without first understand- ing what has been done before. Hence the Art Department deals with the past, the present, and the immediate future — the world that belongs to the artist today. The Music Department, under the chairmanship and guidance of Mr. Mount and the assistance of Mr. Felton, has attempted to increase students’ involvement in music perform- ance. Through past experience, it was found there is a con- siderable amount of underlying enthusiasm within the student body and it is the good of the department to bring this into view. A recent product of these efforts was the new Boys' Chorus, which performed for the first time at the patriotic assembly. Through hard work and perserverance, the music depart- ment is continuously striving to improve its musical and artistic activities.

University of Havana and University of South Florida DOROTHY PARKS, M.A. New York University JANET CULL, A.B. Randolph-Macon Women’s College The primary aim of the Foreign Language Department is to develop the ability of the student to understand, speak, read, and write the language being studied. The offerings are in French, German, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. The student is required to take a minimum of two years of one language to cover the basic groundwork. For those who excel in the language field and are interested in continuing the language on into college, later to pur- sue a language career, advanced courses in the third and fourth year are offered. There are presently two French teachers, two German teachers, one Latin teacher, one Russian teacher, and three Spanish teachers in the De- partment, involved with approximately one quarter of the school population. The Foreign Language Department has rapidly expanded in recent years and gives no evidence of slowing down at the present time. LORRAINE POTOCKI, A.B.
