FACULTY The Westminster School for Boys and The Westminster School for Girls offer a program of parallel education supplemented by access of pupils of one school to classes of the other school, especially in language, mathematics, and science. The faculty of each school works directly under the leadership of a principal and teaches in coopera- tion with the departmental programs of the other faculty. Advanced placement work and regular classes are taught at all grade levels. Each of the five classes, Sub-freshman, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior, in each school has a faculty adviser who leads a guidance program for the individual boy or girl. All student organizations are provided the leadership of a faculty adviser. The LYNX presents the two faculties together in order to congratulate them on their splendid leadership and to show the combined academic program of the school.
