Each language class sponsors clubs in which students partici- pate in several activities. Such activities consist of visiting different restaurants and sampling the food eaten in other countries. During class, the students not only learn a foreign language, but they also learn the customs of other countries and compare them to those in America.

Human Relations Unique Course Teaches Students How to Relate Human relations is a special course, unique to Edsel Ford. The class is held on alternating days with physical education for all four grade levels. Its main purpose is to provide students with an awareness of human behavior. The freshmen program, new this year, gives the student a thorough orientation of the building and then provides course planning for the rest of his high school program. Sophomores investigate career opportunities to help them set up educational goals. Juniors spend the year learning about the various facets of human psychology. Finally, the senior class devotes the year to discussing such important topics as marriage, college, taxes and living on a budget. Mr. Dawson, chairperson of the human relations department, commented, “I believe the human relations program at Edsel Ford meets the needs of students that otherwise would not be met, such as studying practical psychology, money matters, and educational careers. “Counselors also have the chance to observe their counselees in a classroom environment. We get to know them better and see where their weak and strong points are. We would not get that chance otherwise.”
