BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Understanding Free Enterprise The major purposes of this Department are to make students aware of the business world and to prepare them for careers in it as effectively and smoothly as possible. It also prepares students for adjustment into our economic system by training them in buying insurance, arranging credit, banking, preparing income tax returns, writing letters and reports and coping with other economic components of daily living. It is through the Business Department that students become familiar with these various aspects of our free enterprise system and learn to deal with them efficiently.

THE ARTS: Communications and Creativity Art is truly a rainbow of human activity. At one end of this rainbow you’ll find Ryan. By using such delicate tools as pencils, pens, charcoal, water colors, pastels, flourescent inks, acrylics, and oils, students are able to paint with living colors. Sculptures are also made from either wood or clay. This Department is responsible for the scenery and decorations in the play, Ring Mass, Christmas and Spring Concerts, various activity posters and programs, and of course, graduation. Ryan is alive with the sound of music. All types of bands such as concert, marching, dance, pit, and symphonic are consolidated into the Music Department. Preparing students for future activities in music and broadening their musical talents and interests is what this department is all about. By playing and practicing music, students are given the opportunity to explore their limits, develop leadership qualities, grow mentally and physically, and learn to work together.

Director English III Mr. John Molnar Related Arts The T.V. Studio serves as the medium for presenting the faculty and students with programs of educational value as well as means to produce innovative visual programming for educational and recreational purposes. In addition to providing informative news during the homeroom period, the Studio has proved a valuable tool in training the Media class—the future directors of the Studio’s operations. The management of the Studio can be accredited to Mr. Kyran Connelly. It is his sincere hope that as WARB matures in its programming, the teachers will become more aware of the possibilities of educational T.V. within their regular class presentations.
