The eighth grade is the last preparatory year before high school. Miss Horsey, Mr. Bouchard, Mr. Ver- zella, Mr. Durante and Mr. Cannioto prepare the students for another change in school life, their en- trance into high school. The world has seemingly become so small that the ability to communicate with other peoples in their language is more import- ant than ever before. Miss Fritz gives us a background of Latin, Mrs. Bieber brings us up to date in French, and Miss McDon- ald helps those who are having difficulties with their native English language. I The many fine instrumental and vocal groups which add to the joy of attending East Rochester High School are under the direction of Mr. Mil- ler and Mr. Beckwith. Their groups add much to our programs, assemblies and games.

Vital enough to be required for the four years of high school is history, ranging from Social Studies and World History to American History and Prob- lems of Democracy. Mr. Baroody introduces history to the freshmen, followed by Miss Hery and Miss Bentley with World History. Mr. Baynes gives the seniors preparation in Economic History before they leave to journey into the world. 5404 The manual arts are taught by Mr. Dunn and Mr. Beal, here seen working over a printing press. They are also responsible for the Drivers Educa- tion program in our school. Math is becoming more important as a subject and is generally a requirement for college entrance. An introduction to higher math is given to freshmen by Miss Wilson in the Elementary Algebra classes. Mrs. Leuty teaches Plane Geometry and Inter- mediate Algebra and Miss Wilson com- pletes the series with Trigonometry and Solid Geometry. Absent when the picture was taken was Mrs. Redman who also teaches Plane Geometry.
