Perhaps instead of owning your own home, you picture yourself traveling. In this case, a course in language or ROTC might be beneficial to you. The Foreign Language Department teaches four modern languages — Italian, French, German Spanish — which may benefit the stu- dent who is fortunate enough to travel. Hopefully, the study of a foreign language also helps students improve their own language, English. ROTC is a course in air and space science. Students involved in this program are sup- plied with materials from the U.S. Air Force to aid them with their training. (A) Mr. .John Yoder — French I, II, III, IV.

Departments Prepare Students For Homes And Travel Did you ever picture yourself living in an apartment or owning your own home? Dieruff has two types of courses which can help you in that area. Home Economics courses help students improve home environment and family life through classes geared to creativity — creative needlework, clothing construction and preparing and serving food — as well as courses in consumer education, textiles and nutri- tion. The Industrial Arts Department also prepares stu- dents for adult living by teaching them how to use wood and other related materials in the construction of their own furniture, lamps and bookends. The department also teaches concepts in electricity, mechanics and design. De- spite the fact that Industrial Arts has always been centered around the male and Home Economics, the female, both departments hope that in the future their courses will attract everyone.
