Cultural, Educational Changes Create History Department In order to provide each student with a basic under- standing of existing and past social, economic, and political forces, Schreiber's history department underwent a face- lifting process in the form of two new electives Sociology and History of Science Dealing with a wide range of complicated current pro- blems, Sociology became one of the most successful courses offered. Those taking History of Science investigated how science affects the way people have lived and thought, and how people's lives have affected science. The new program gave juniors a one-year study of American history. This course stressed such broad areas as the rise of sectionalism and nationalism, and the present- day problems of civil rights and reapportionment For the sophomores, there was a year of studying world history. Topics ranged from an examination of Western civilization from its beginnings in the Grecian culture to the spread of communist control since World War II. The seniors' provocative American history course focused on the period from Reconstruction to the present MR. COOK, IN USUAL POSE, TEACHES THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GITANO IN THE RED PONY ' Math Department The downing computer age has placed heavy emphasis on the importance of mathematics in the school curriculum This year's math courses at Schreiber were designed to advance every student in this subject as far as his capa- bilities permitted An outstanding feature of this plan was the honors pro- gram for students who possessed unusual ability in math- ematics. Courses normally taught on a college level were introduced in the eleventh and twelfth grades. They in- cluded studies of trigonometry, advanced algebra, differen- tial and integral calculus, and analytical geometry Under the leadership of Mrs Kellie, department chair- man, this new approach has taught more than the practical applications of mathematics in engineering and business. It has also helped students develop logical thinking as they apply the science to their personal needs. English Department To give students a basic awareness of the masterpieces which form their literary heritage and to aid them in de- veloping skill in communication, the English department con- ducted a program which included units in fiction, drama, poetry, vocabulary, speech, and expository writing. Sophomores enjoyed a program oriented to the forms of literature They read and analyzed various short stories, novels, essays, poems, and full-length dramas For the first time, juniors studied British and American literature in a concentrated one-year course. This new sys- tem will enable well-qualified students to choose English electives in their senior year. Seniors enjoyed the traditional survey of English liter- ture, augmented by fleeting glimpses at the works of some of the literary geniuses of other nations MISS NIKLAD AND FRIEND MAKE DAILY AFTER-SCHOOL EXIT. 30
