Social Studies The social studies team led by Mr. Marchant, is feeling the cutback ef¬ fects of declining enrollments and Prop. 2’ ?. The impact will be felt in the loss of a two-fifths teaching position, higher class sizes, some courses dropped and increased sections of those electives remaining in the pro¬ gram. We have nothing new to offer in our department,” said Mr. Mar- chant, In fact, we may have to eliminate some courses, like Contem¬ porary Affairs or Anthropology, if our enrollment declines further. Cur¬ rently, 100% of the juniors are enrolled in American History, 44% of the sophomores and 46% of the seniors have elected Social Studies courses. The wish of the Social Studies Department is to preserve the quality of Wellesley’s education. Finally, on a more pleasant note, we wish Mrs. Johnson happiness with her new baby boy, who arrived last fall. Mr. McDermott poses for our camera Dept.

Language Department Now Offers Three Exchange Programs; Germany, Martinique and Venezuela This year the Foreign Language Department has welcomed a new faculty member, German teacher Mary Stueart, who is the coordinator of an addi¬ tional exchange trip, to Germany. Although Germany may not have the tropical weather that has been associated with the traditional Foreign Language Exchanges to French speaking Martinque and Spanish-speaking Venezuela, Germany will be the first Euopean country with which W.H.S. has an exchange program. Now, students can visit foreign countries in all three language areas for exposure to the cultures they are studying in their courses. However, exchanges are just part of the highlights of this department. Our Language Laboratory and our highly excelled literature programs pro¬ vide a variety of excellent learning experiences in this academic program. I wish said Mr. Caefer, that all students become a proficient in a foreign language to enrich their lives. Mr. Haggerty likes the French he hears. Miss Morris and Steve Albee. 26
