Industrial Arts Industrial Arts covered a wide range of areas which are essential in our technical world today. Mr. Robert Anderson and Mr. Leonard Johnson in- structed students to work with the tools, materials, and processes used in industry. Art Dripping paint brushes, splattered easels, and eager faces were all typi- cal sights in room 306. Under the supervision of Mr. Richard Pelletier, students were encouraged to utilize their creative talents. Music Music was always in the air in room 310. Mr. Elgidio Bisceg- lia developed the students’ knowl- edge and appreciation of good music by covering classical as well as contemporary works. Mr. Bisceglia also encouraged stu- dents to participate in the dance band, orchestra, marching band, and vocal groups throughout the year. 24

Mathematics The quadratic formula, the Pythagorean Theorem, algebraic equations— these were among the ideas and concepts discussed in the mathematics classes which are under the direction of Miss Helen Hartnett, department head. Students were also encouraged to attempt to solve problems by the use of logic and deductive and inductive reasoning. This year calculus was added to the list of mathematics courses for those students who were interested in the exciting field of advanced mathematics.

Basketball, football, volleyball, and soccer, as well as rigorous workouts on apparatus—all these activities were part of the enthusiastic physical education program. The goal of this program, con- ducted by Mrs. Patricia Pothier and Mr. William Hazell, was to keep all students physically fit and to teach them the value of fair play and good sportsmanship. Home Economics Something was always brewing in Miss Louise Cavanaugh’s home economics class. When they were not slaving over a hot stove, the girls were busy learning the finer points of sewing and the etiquette that will be required of them as homemakers.
