GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT Our guidance counselor, Mr. Bailey, feels that the purpose of the Guidance De- partment, in addition to programming apti- tude tests for the students, is to make each student aware of the opportunities availa- ble to him, to help each student become fsmiliar with these choices, and to en- courage the student to accept the respon- sibilities of making these decisions. Mr. Bailey completed seventh through tenth grade IQ tests and administered the P.S.A.T. and N.E.D.T. tests. Much time was spent on college, nursing, and technical school applications for the seniors. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Mr. Louis Daugherty, Mr. Raymond Smith, Mr. Gerald Smith, and Mr. john Shofestall are the instructors in the Science Department. The new Earth and Space Science is being taught by Mr. Shofestall to the advanced eighth graders and a few seniors who took a field trip to Titusville last fall. A course of Biological Science Curriculum Study Biology has been added to the science curriculum and is being taught by Mr. Gerald Smith. In addition to the new biology, a new mobile unit has been installed. Mr. Daugherty is our very capable chemistry and physics instructor. A great deal of praise belongs to our in- stmctors of science. MATH DEPARTMENT The big change in this department this year has been in the elementary and junior high grades. In September, the NewD or Modern Math was introduced to the seventh and eighth grades by Mr. Smail and Mr. Dechant. The students are finding that it takes a lot more logical thinking to master the new math than it did the old traditional math, but still it merely consists of new ways to arrive at the same old con- clusions. In addition to the Modern Math, the traditional Algebra, Plane Geometry, and Trigonometry courses are being taught by Mr. Stanczak and Mr. Dechant.

LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Mrs. Bevevino and her assistants have Worked hard this year to make the library an efficient and progressive department. Be- sides the normal functions of a library, a branch, the Audio Visual Club, provides trained operators for equipment issued to classes. The Library Department also pro- vides an excellent course in the use of the library and its materials. With the addition of many new books this year, the library has become a department that is a valuable aid to everyone in the school. ART DEPARTMENT The Art Department this year was un- der the guidance of Mr. Thomas Wilczek. Junior high classes studied the basic ele- ments of art and touched on many other aspects. Elective Art students were given a great deal of freedom to Work on projects of interest to them. They also were respon- sible for posters, bulletin boards and sea- sonal decorations. Mr. Wilczekis main aim this year was to instill in his students a genuine appreciation of art. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department, under the supervision of Mrs. McLaughlin and Miss Leaming, helped perfect skills in the stu- dents entering the business field. A course in office practice was offered for the first time this year. This course introduced stu- dents to such machines as adding machines, printing calculators, rotary calculators, and the Dictaphone. The Commercial Club newly organized last year, presented speak- ers from different business colleges and ob- served a large business in operation during a Pittsburgh tour in the spring.
