ENGLISH Jeff Cebulski FRENCH Susan Tews HOME EC. The English Department furnishes the students with backgrounds in reading, writing, and speaking. The main objectives of the language program is to improve the students' ability to communicate through various media such as books, speech, radio, and television. Under the direction of Mr. Jeff Cebulski the point is clear. No one really appreciates his own language until he has learned another language. The French language prepares students for their trips to France which they have been taking every two years. Mrs. Susan Tews shows the students how the language should be spoken. The bi-yearly trips to France play a very important role in broadening appreciation of the contribution the French have made to the Western Culture. Home Economics prepares students to get along after they are out of school. Mrs. Terese Gross teaches her students to sew, cook, and even child care. In her bachelor know-how class, she teaches the boys the facts about how having to do something with a woman's touch. The basic objective is to impart knowledge to the student which will better prepare them for the decisionmaking and practical skills that will be demanded later. 43 Terese Gross
