CULTURE SHOCK? Mr. Robert Burke HolaL. Bonjour!...Gutentag!... These were some of the greetings which welcomed us into the various classes of the Foreign Language Department. Under the guidance of Mrs. Elaine Doucette, this de- partment offered courses such as German and Latin as well as the traditional French and Spanish. Thanks to this hard-working staff, we learned about foreign cultures and reached fluency in three modern languages. Nobody will ever forget Senora Perry ' s fi- las , Senor Dhimitri ' s plays, or Madame Doucette ' s oral drills. Some of us also got to experience foreign cultures first-hand as we toured countries such as Spain, France, and Germany. Thanks to all for a true cultural experience at WHS! Mr. William Ducheneau Mr. Manol Dhimitri Mrs. Barbara Gray 29

AROUND THE WORLD IN 180 DAYS I Mr. Robert Avakian Mr. William Davis Area Coordinator The Social Studies Department, under the guidance of Mr. William Davis, proved to be an enlightening experience that pro- vided students with a better understanding of man, his governments, and his interac- tion with society. From World Cultures to Modern History to Chinese Civ., students were exposed to a variety of interesting courses that did in fact give us a better understanding of ourselves as well as those around us. The senior class would like to express its deep appreciation to all these historians whose careful teachings made history a rewarding learning endeavor. Mr. Donald Beurman 28 Mrs. Nancy Saumsiegle
