Vital-Strengthens French F R E N C H Our modern foreign language program has continued to grow in scope as well as in size with the introduction this year of French IV, a survey course in French literature and a re- view of grammar, and the adoption on the ninth grade level of an oral approach to French, via the direct method. This is a new method as it enables students to speak French at once, leaving vocabulary and grammar to functional representation in conversations, and in complete idiomatic thoughts, rather than in grammatical unit divisions. Because of the increased enrollment, Mrs. Greene has joined Miss Newton and Mr. Chappuis, teach- ing two classes in the senior high school to- gether with several at the junior high. Y French IV, a survey course in French literature and a review of grammar. GREEK, did you say? Miss Dorris E.

f The World We Live In HISTORY AND SOCIAL STUDIES Sharon High School has a creditable four year His- tory and Social Studies program. Instruction includes duties as well as privileges. Thus we have freedom of religion and of the press, but also the need for construc- tive citizenship, responsibility to run for not always from public office, and the accountability to defend the Republic. Some fields of study stress practical and terminal pur- suits while others emphasize the scholarly and continuing features of formal education. While all courses are sound and enduring, yet they are coupled with ideas and methods both flexible and reasonable in innovations. Our program includes: Civics-stressing citizenship of school class, communi- ty, commonwealth and country, Ancient History-from Archaelogy to Zoroaster. Economic Geography-as Ankara to the Yahi River. Modern History-Alsace and Lorraine to the Voice of America. Problems of Democracy-the individual, town meeting and the world. Stephen Leacock, the political scientist and novelist, once said, l am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder l work the more l have of it. ln the sum and substance of worthwhile living, this kind of luck is significant. ll'-'f NH' A if It says so right there!
