Smith, Miss Brooks, English Since we must communicate with each other by the medium of language, two years of English are required at Appleton High School. ln order to speak and write effectively, it is necessary to apply the principles of usage to our everyday lives. The English department strives to instill in the students the desire to do better by offering a wide variety of interesting projects. Stress is placed on literature, and a unique system of classroom libraries is provided. Languages Our foreign language department is determined to bring students to the reali- zaticn that other lands are interesting and worthwhile too. By studying the languages of people, either ancient or modern, we appreciate the great inherit- ance we have received through the cen- turies. Four years of Latin are offered to those who are fascinated by Roman cul- ture and literature. The two-year Spanish and German courses emphasize speak- ing, writing, and reading. .s.,...,,., 5' 4 .,.J Miss Kopplin Mrs Himebaugh, Miss Kniebusch, Mr. Wieting.

Home Economics and lndustrial Arts The aim of the home economics and industrial arts departments of AHS is to pre- pare students for well-managed, gratifying lives. ln home economics classes the modern family scheme is studied from all angles, Food preparation, meal planning, child care, and sewing are stressed. Industrial arts classes give the background for an industrial vocation. Mr. Wieting, Mr. Kuemmerlein, Miss McKennan, Miss Gerlach, Mr. Bacich, Mr, Moore. Fine Arts The fine arts department's chief objective is to broaden an appreciation of the finer arts of music, speech, dramatics, and art. The operetta, Christmas concert, and spring festival are highlights of every year. Speech students gain experience in dramatics, declamation, oratory, debate, and ex- temporaneous speaking. The art de- partment brings out originality through paints, metal, and wood. The resulting creations are displayed throughout the building. Mathematics and Science From the time we learn that two plus two is four until we begin to under- stand Einstein's theory of relativity, we realize that a knowledge of math- ematics and science is most essential in this age. Students, by means of experiments, study the fundamentals of modern science in biology, chem- istry, and physics courses. Algebra, plane geometry, third and fourth-year math tend to sharpen the wits and bring about an understanding of num- ber relationships, and formulas. Q 1-' Q . Mr Wetak, Miss V.
