The Business and Ind. Arts Dept. Industrial Arts like the class of 1975 is just beginning. We too are moving forward and hope to spread out over many areas. Many of you will pursue courses of instruction introduced to you through our overall program. We wish you well, and would appreciate any feedback for course improvement either now or in the future. Next year we start an occupational computer program that we hope will bring earlier and more informative selections for future educational or occupational pursuits. The Business Education Department at Manchester High School comprises those aspects of business that are of concern to students in order to prepare them to live and work in our business-oriented society. The course selections such as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, office machines, and clerical procedures enable students not only to have employable and marketable skills, but these skills are valuable for personal use as well. ++ 1 ik ia y l iv a ft Paul B.

Ernest R. Shepard Jr. Frank R. Bergmann The Social Studies Department has developed a curriculum to keep pace with the times. Within the total curriculum are courses or units covering every major area of the world and each of the social science disciplines. Courses are structured to aid in the development of skills and information of the college-preparatory students at two levels. There are several courses offered for the needs of the general student also. In the coming school year, the Social Studies Department will join with other departments to present an interdisciplinary program in Occupational Competence for ninth graders. Richard G.

Philip N. Darby Karen K. Metcalf The new and spacious art room located in the new wing has brought many new Jr. and Sr. High students into the Art Program. As two classes may be taught simultaneously, students are constantly being exposed to a variety of Arts and Crafts throughout the day. Future plans in the Art Department will be to expand the curriculum into additional areas of Jewelry smithing and Photography. These two areas will provide our student body and community with a complete Art Program. Sarah P. Hodges Yvonne Trabucco Music in the Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School, in recent years has become an increasingly important part of school life. The performing groups, in particular, have been much in evidence at concerts, assemblies, and athletic events. Progress has been steady, and the music program hopefully will continue to grow to include more students, and to offer a wider selection of musical experiences. Beatrice F.
