ooooo ooooo ooooo ooooo ooooo ooooo-. oooooo 'ooo' O ' Guidance, available to every member of Andrew Warde, is the personal interest which house-masters of the Guidance Department take in the student and his aptitudes, high school program, and future plans. During a student's four years of high school he is advised by one particular counselor who endeavors to guide him most intelligently according to his specific needs. A change of program, need of a iob, questions concerning specific colleges, or the Armed Service requirements are situations in which Miss Carroll, Mr. Condren, Mr. Wile, and Miss O'Dwyer are always ready to offer helpful advice. The Guidance Department, under the direction of Mr. Vincent Strout, is actively inter- ested in the future of the students of Andrew Warde and in helping to direct them most wise- ly toward the unknown. All . . . and the angels sing . . . art individuality of expression, an important at- tribute, is developed at Andrew Warde by the Art Department.

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.

Through the Social Studies Department at Andrew Warde students study these footprints and learn to decipher the effect they have had upon life and the effects they will have upon the future. Moreover, these students become aware of the impressions cur- rent events make in the sands of time. For ex- ample, freshmen studying World History learn of the influences exerted upon America by pre- historic, European, and Asiatic civilizations. An explanation of our Constitution, an account of Westward expansion, and a description of the intellectual growth of our nation are offered by United States History. Furthermore, students who wish to supplement their knowledge may study Modern History, an account of the politi- cal, economic and social development of nine- teenth and twentieth century Latin America, Europe, and the Far East. Also, in order to be- come more aware of the current major issues confronting American citizens, students may elect a course in Problems of American Democ- racy, which includes such topics as labor and management, public finance, and propaganda analysis. Thus, graduates of Andrew Warde are pre- pared to understand the world situation con- fronting them today as well as to cope with the problems it will present in the future. lunch The end of third period comes slowly . . . two seconds . . . one second . . . suddenly the stampede toward the cafeteria begins . . . sandwiches . . . ice cream . . . milk . . . twenty- two minutes of blissful eating . . . talking . . . relaxing.
