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

The SCIENCE DEPARTMENT had a new and busier air this year. A $16,000 grant enabled a switch from macro to semimicro-chemistry (above right), which meant the use of smaller equipment and amounts of chemicals. This allowed time for forty per cent more experimentation than was ac- complished by other district schools. The 824 students en- rolled in the four sciences available — general science, sopho- more and junior biology, physiology (above left - - Gary Warden and Richard Sweeney dissect cat), chemistry and physics — enjoyed the use of new equipment such as a pres- sure chamber and a lens-grinder. The MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT offered six courses, from the lowest beginners ' arithmetic on up to fourth year advanced math. Algebra I and geometry (Richard Storm ' s seventh period geometry class is yictured here) were stand- ard parts of college preparatory courses, while the more intri- cate higher mathematics were taken by interested or skilled students. An enriched and accelerated geometry class is ' tenta- tively scheduled for next year. HOMEMAKING isn ' t just cooking, sewing, cleaning, or preparation for marriage. It is a family-centered program in- cluding family relationships, child development, foods and nutritions, clothing, and home-health management. The department offers the compulsory freshman homemaking plus electives in foods, clothing, and advanced home economics. 15
