DRIVER EDUCATION courses are given students as near to their 15[ 2-year birthday as possible because state law allows students of this age to obtain a license if they have successfully completed such a course. Two students at a time are taken through a 1 2-day phase. This allows six hours of both driving and observation time. JOURNALISM classes are special elective solids offered through the English department. The advanced journalism class publishes the CARLMONITOR and provides practi- cal experience in newspaper work. A yearbook class, new this year, is responsible for the production of a school yearbook. THE ENGLISH department boasted its largest number of teachers in Carlmont ' s his- tory. A new feature was the two experimental accelerated senior English classes, which performed work on a college level. The courses were taught by John Durham, shown supervising a medieval literature test above. II

THE LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT is represented here by Arthur Cutler ' s first period French III class. French is one of four languages — Spanish, Latin, and German are the others offered at Carlmont. In a three or four year course, students not only learn to use a language, but gain an understanding of other cultures. THE ART DEPARTMENT tries to discover and develop artistic abilities in students as well as give them an art background that can be of use in everyday life, whether or not they pursue an artistic career. Louis Frangione ' s third period commercial art class is shown below. (Miss Rose Chaplin ' s second period U. S. history class is shown above). United States history is a required course for all juniors. The SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT offers two additional compulsory courses — orientation for ninth graders and American institutions for seniors. An elective class in world history is also available. (Shown here — Prescott Kendall ' s sixth period psychology class) AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS includes one semes- ter of American government and one of psychology. The social studies courses are all designed to prepare students for life in a democratic society and to bring greater under- standing of the different cultures and ideas of the world. 13
