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

Science Department Has Several Personnel Changes Beakers, formaldehyde, dissections, and bunsen burners are synonymous with science, an integral part of Wellesley High’s academic network. The Science department has had several new faculty members, whose talents bolster efficiency. These members include Mr. Izzo who now teaches Chemistry and Physical Science; Miss Haas, who teaches Chemistry; and Mr. Bowman who has come from the Jr. High to teach Biology and Chemistry. While the department gained three new teachers, it lost one, too. Biology teacher Mr. John Howard retired at the end of the year. 1981 marked his twenty-fifth year of teaching at the high school. An expression of appreciation and gratitude was extended to Mr. Howard by his department. Wellesley High’s science division keeps abreast of the latest innovations. The department members have several ideas which it would like to see put into use in regards to the manner of teaching in the classroom. They would like a greater usage of microcomputers in the classroom as well as a greater participation by students to enlarge their horizons with some form of a science background before leaving the high school. In addition to this wish, another wish expressed by the science department was one which was shared by many department heads: I wish 2Va would go away.” Ralph Bowman John Howard, who retired after 25 years at W.H.S.
