History Department Adds Courses

Knowledge of world, national and state affairs, past and present, has always been an important area of study

With the general study of humanity, more specific areas of inquiry, such as politics and ethics, are receiving new emphasis.

In an effort to meet these needs, the history department has enlarged its already varied curriculum. According to Mr. John Pagin, history department chairman, such classes as Medieval History, Comparative Governments and Historical Biography have been added. The department has doubled its offerings in the last year. It is now the largest department at Howe.

English Basis Of All

Communications

English is considered the most basic and important subject taught. It is the basis of all our communications. A reading laboratory is available for those who wish to further refine those skills.

Course offerings begin with Basic English for Freshmen and proceed through literature courses. Old English is offered for the upper classes.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said. But I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Jabberwocky

'Twas brilling and the slithy coves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogroves, And the mome raths outgrabe, Lewis Carroll

Although formal instruction in "Jaberwockian" is not offered, Howe does offer challenging alternatives. Classes in Spanish, Latin, German and French are available to high school students.

Because of the increased interest in Spanish, Mr. David Sell, formerly a member of lower school staff, is now teaching Spanish.

Courses include study of the culture as well as the language. Latin, taught by Mr. James Slater, language department chairman, reawakens the grandeur of ancient Rome. Classes of German, French, and Spanish explores both the past and present of these countries. This method of instruction adds depth and background to the langauge.

Science Involves Study Of Nature

. Science, the search for answers both pure and practical, embraces studies from the wonder of life, plant and animal, through combining chemicals in theories of light and motion. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are the courses offered through the science department.

At present the department is improving its reference sources. The physics class is waiting for delivery of several new physics books. A small laser for demonstration purposes is also expected.

Headmaster Creates Whole

Under headmaster Mr. Richard Piper, each loose string is tied to form the high school into a whole. Each department while autonomous, merges to create an entire system

Mrs. Evelyn Gotshall, fulcrum of the office staff, serves as personal secretary to Mr. Richard Piper, headmaster and guidance counselor, Mr. Richard Kowalkowski. In spare minutes she checks attendance, issues passes, runs the mimeograph machine, comforts stricken cadets and calms flustered instructors.

Guidance counseling is an important part of the whole. Under Mr. Richard Kowalkowski, guidance is no longer a matte of "spare the rod, spoil the child." Discipline, although still a part, is not the whole. The new guidance counselor, is more concerned with the individual students. He is interested in all the problems which effect the cadets, academic, social acceptance or personal.

P.E., Business

Round Out Curriculum

A new addition to the academic curriculum is a physical education course. The objectives of the course are to develope the strong sense of team cooperation and cognizance of the body's importance.

Instructor, Mr. David Sell, includes such activities as touch football, volleyball and softball.

Mr. Lester Kuehn, new to the teaching staff, instructs students in basic problems of the business and financial world. General Business, Bookkeeping and Typing are the main areas of study.
