Over the past ten years, our social science teaching staff has increased in number from three to twelve. Two of the original three, Miss Helen Lane and Mr. Lou DeLoret'to, have taught at South during the entire ten years. ln South Salem's first year, French, Spanish, and Latin were the only foreign languages offered. The language teaching staff then consisted of three, one of whom was Mrs. Leah Smith. In 1961 Russian was introduced, and this year students were offered German. Five of South's language teachers taught full schedules of lan- guages this year, while others interspersed foreign language classes with other subjects.
