With this object in mind, YJC ' s Language Departments seek to teach stu- dents the practical and aesthetic aspects of lan- guage. On Foreign Language Day, a lecture by William Turpin suggested that language study is Necessary But Not Enough. Every member of the English Department at- tended a workshop relative to the teaching of English — lecturers on Robert Frost, methods of freshman composition, and other experimental approaches.

S. government classes Social Sciences To Relate Man ' s Past To His Future Addition of several new instructors, plus replace- ments for those instructors away on NDEA scholar- ships, brought sweeping changes to the Social Sci- ence Department this year. New ideas, new stimu- lation, and lots of reading assignments emphasized history from a practical and personal viewpoint. Structured book reports, visiting lecturers, and pop quizzes kept awareness at a high level among students and enabled them to glean new insights from their history and government courses.

Physical Education Team Participation And School Spirit Mrs. Bridget Funk teaching a co-educational archery class Left to right: Jack Jacquet, Mrs. Bridget Funk, Robert Cummin ,; The Physical Education department offered a diverse program throughout the year to keep YJC ' s students physically active and in condition. Three instructors saw to it that the College ' s athletic teams were adequately prepared to face their opponents. The P. E. department ' s recreational facilities in the gym were widely used and appreciated by stu- dents. What student has not enjoyed a few moments ' diversion in watching a spirited sporting event on an otherwise dull winter afternoon? Active participation in intramurals was popular.
