Teachers Try New Techniques Enameling was attempted as on experiment in the advanced art classes this year. Here, Lila Cohn, Donna Rebman, and Nancy Jones are seen using the new kiln. Other departments expanded and enriched their courses to give interested students a taste of more difficult work. One of the trigonom- etry classes, for example, spent three weeks at the end of the semester studying calculus, a course usually taught only in college. Mrs. Harriet Strela flashes one of her students ' themes on the screen with an opaque pro- jector. By means of this handy piece of equip- ment, a whole class can benefit from the cor- rections on one paper. Other types of audio-visual apparatus were also extensively used this year, especially in the science and social studies departments. n ' Despite the increasing number of students in the high school, classes have retained their informal atmosphere. Mr. Drayer ' s trigonom- etry class, shown here, arranged their chairs in a double horseshoe pattern. This arrange- ment enabled the teacher to sit closer to the students and gave everyone the feeling of being in the front row.

With the increasing enrollment, greater demands are made of the faculty. For most, a working day is not over at the close of school, for staff mem- bers sponsor clubs, work with committees, give time to social functions, and coach sports. Many are active in professional organizations and com- munity affairs. Seniors are grateful for the special classes hefd after school to help them prepare for College Board Examinations. Of the seventy members of the faculty, forty-eight have the Master ' s degree, two have a PH.D. and one an LL.D. Several are working for advanced degrees. Miss Jean H.
