The social studies program of Scotia-Glenville, guided by Chairman Hilda Haskell, is geared to bring the student closer to the breathtaking real- ities of the new age with which he must hence- forth live.

New trails are being blazed not in science alone but in the cultures and literatures of all peoples. Language students at S-G are discovering that Latin is not dead, but lives through its modern derivatives; that German, Spanish, and French are brought to life by teachers whose own lives have been enriched by sojourns in the foreign lands of which they teach. FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHERS (Left to right): Mr. Thomas Clohesy, Spanish; Mrs. Nita Sav- age, German; Mrs. Laimi Reynolds, Latin; Mrs. Lucile Dougher- ty, French. (Left): Robin Soellner, Alice DeLaney and Robert Snively, third year French students, hang up some new travel posters in their classroom.

SCIENCE The struggle of independent nations for peace in freedom has been equated with a struggle for scientific supremacy between the two major powers. Thus, a newly alerted sense of responsi- bility has been felt by America's leading scientists as well as by the science students of Scotia. Chairman Sawyer's science department con- tinues its program to develop future scientists and engineers who may help to lead the country and the world to a better life with peace—in free- dom. (Left) Michael Benedict, Joan Hesler and Leanne Hanrahan concentrate on an experiment in Mr. McGuire's physics lab. (Above): Mr. Goyette checks the data of general science students.
