The curriculum encompasses individual and team sports, gymnastics, and musical activities. The students are educated just as in academic courses, through the use of written and skill tests.

Miss Fingerman Mr. Weeks Foreign Language Department Students enrolled in the Foreign Language Department are taught more than to read, write, and speak their chosen language easily. These students have an opportunity to learn some of the culture, geography, and history of the country. Extensive courses in French, Spanish, and Latin are supplemented by frequent field trips, films, and slides. A language laboratory allows the teach- ers, under the direction of Mr. Winslow Weeks, to give their students more individual attention. Library Mrs. Leigh ton Mr. Killian Miss Gillis Under the patient and able super- vision of Miss Mary Ann Nappi, the library at Silver Lake provides stu- dents and faculty members with a great deal of material concerning a wide variety of subjects. Books are made available for research, special instruction, or reading pleasure. Despite the large school population, time and space are pro- vided for students to study and read in the library itself. Miss Nappi ' s task of organization of the library material is made somewhat easier due to the assistance of student library aides. Miss Eckel Miss Nappi

w Miss Hopkins I The Social Studies Department has placed particular emphasis on the re- lationship of the United States to world affairs. Teachers in the department realize that good citizens are those who have some knowledge of their coun- try ' s government and the role of their country in the diplomatic scene. There- fore, all seniors are required to take United States History and seniors in the academic course are required to take Government and Economics. The annual Senior trip to the United Nations acquainted students with the problems and advantages of world government. Mr. Splaine ■ M Mr. Harrington Mr. Bergeron
