Foreign, Language Three years of a foreign lan- guage are required toward gradu- ation at St, Martin's School, , The students have a choice of either French, Spanish, or Latin. Latin is being gradually phased out and will eventually be replaced by either German or Russian. In the Modern Languages, we try to teach the students to under- stand, speak, read, and write the language - with special emphasis on understanding and speakingf To fulfill those aims, the direct ,approach is used to avoid as much as possible the use of English in the classroom, Top: MITCHELL BERARD, Depart- ment Head, B, A, , University of Southwestern Louisiana, C, D, F., University of Bordeaux, France, Center-Left: ISABEL L, ANGLADE, B, A, , University of Puerto Rico, M, A, , Tulane University.

The chief function of the En- glish Department is to foster under- standing and appreciation of our language, as well as to provide instruction in the preferred forms and structure of this language, Since this discipline is repeti- tive and cumulative, efforts are made to correlate the work on all levels, In addition to basic in- struction in literature, composi- tion, and grammar for all students in the upper school, members of this department have also assumed responsibility for the school pub- lications and dramatic activities, Top Center: SUZANNE P.

The science teaching of the past decades is most inappropriate for the world we live in today and will be even less suitable for the world of tomor- row. We are undergoing a revolution in sciences. A close partnership has been developed betweell science and the economics, social, educational, and N political issues of our time. Today there are few problems in any of these areas that can be discussed to their fullest meaning in the absence of a scientist. Today all over the world and among all peoples there is an awareness that scientific literacy is essential to an understanding of the nature and events of contemporary civilization.
