The English Department, headed by Brooks Goddard, con¬ tinued to offer many fine programs and welcomed Sue Gartrell to the staff. Seniors and juniors chose from a wide range of half-year and full-year electives. Freshmen and sophomores took year-long English courses. Among the courses offered to seniors and juniors were Shakespeare, Man in Conflict, Comedy and Satire, and Modern Mass Communications. Seniors could also take the year-long course Humanities, a combination of English and History and Juniors could elect America for which they received credit in both American History and Literature. Highlights of the year included two days of Shakespeare workshops for students and teachers. Barry Benson Brooks Goddard.

Languages Along with welcoming Mrs. Hayes as new department head of foreign languages, the language department continues to be involved in many activities this year. Also, Miss Tavoularis is a new member of the staff. The popularity of foreign language is still increasing: classrooms are still crowded and three teachers are without permanent rooms. The language department has been very active with two exchange trips this year. The exchange to France became very popular last year. Fifteen students went to Savigney-sur-Orge in February. The exchange trip to Spain, brand new at Wellesley, has also been well received. Twelve students traveled to Barcelona in February. For the return por¬ tion of the exchange, the French students will come to Wellesley in March; the Spanish students will visit in September, 1985. Mrs. Hayes is planning on keeping the success and interest in the foreign languages thriving. She feels that the increase in the enrollment of languages reflects a new awareness of the importance of foreign languages to the public in general. She commented that “the goals of the language program are to teach students the basic communication skills in a foreign language while acquainting them with the culture and people of the countries where the language is spoken.” Through this preparation, students will be able to express themselves more freely and to rely on these skills throughout their lives. “Sorry Mr. Haggerty, tryouts are next week.” (Mr. Haggerty and sons Eric and Mark) Mary Hayes.
