The Home Economics Department at Andrew Warde offers these future homemakers the opportunity to learn sewing and cooking skills, solutions to consumer problems, the basics of good nutrition and the management of an income. This department also grants students an opportunity for self-improvement through instruction in good grooming, accepted patterns of social behavior, and the proper selection of clothing. Most important, this department pre- pares the students of the present for some of the complexities of the future. ln my opinion, Ed Magi says to Dick Kardos, the hips are too big! industrial arts A service or product, capital, and the worker - these are three components of industry. Each is a vital part of the backbone of our country. We refine natural resources, manufacture clothing, and package food. Almost every daily convenience and necessity is the result of an industry and the laborers who work there. As preparation for a job in the industrial world, Andrew Warde has developed an industrial arts program in which students learn to use typeset- ting and drafting equipment, operate hand tools, understand the working of motors and generators, and service their own cars. From these students will come the draftsmen, electri- cians, auto-mechanics, carpenters, and elec- tronics engineers who will be indispensible to the life of every citizen in the future. They will help to increase our knowledge of industrial arts in the world of tomorrow. Chef Palumbo mixes one of his specialities, dog food a la Bardhal.

ooooooooooooooeooo oooooooooooeoooooo oooooooooooooooooo eoooooooooooooeooe ooeooooooooooooooo Mr Canfield, they're coming out backwards! english When a child enters the first grade he is usually able to express his thoughts and wishes in elementary English: his vocabulary is small, his grammar, imperfect. As the child matures, his means of self-expression increase. By the time he enters high school, he has learned the fundamentals of grammar, reading, and writ- ing. Throughout the student's high school career the English Department at Andrew Warde at- tempts not only to improve this self-expression, but also to offer him a multitude of experiences gained vicariously through English and Ameri- can literature. He is able to view the world through the eyes of authors from Shakespeare to Steinbeck, to probe the minds of both fictional and real characters. Moreover, by increasing his vocabulary, receiving instruction in and practice in mechanics, and by observing other peoples' varied styles of self-expression, he de- velops a correct personal style of his own. In addition to the standarized English cur- riculum offered at Andrew Warde, a student of high potentiality may, through the Advanced Placement Program, more intensively survey literature which includes the works of Chaucer, Sophocles, and Milton. Also, he may further develop his skill in creative writing and eloquent speaking. Throughout his life, a graduate of Andrew Warde may only occasionally refer to many of the subiects he has studied: but, he will con- stantly employ and increase the skills in and appreciation of our language and literature which he obtained at Andrew Warde. .Y I business Good salesmanship, efficient shorthand, and a thorough understanding of the operation of business contribute to competence in the work- ing and the success of a particular business. Students of the business program develop voca- tional skill, personal values, and social values, as they have the opportunity to study everyday financial and economic problems, methods of accurate bookkeeping, nature of contracts and negotiations, efficient clerical procedure, psy- chology of selling, shorthand and transcription - a combination of shorthand, typewriting, English, and speed and accuracy in typewriting. The training and experience which every pupil enrolled in the business program receive should enable him to obtain a suitable iob and be- come a competent worker and citizen.
