EXCLAMATIONS of guten tag, salzfe, buenos dias, and bonjour daily greet the seven teachers in the foreign language department at East High School. Lan- guage courses through the fourth year level are available to students in Latin, Span- ish, and French and through the third year level in German. Using the three lan- guage laboratories the 764 Aces enrolled in the language department practice con- versation and listen to tapes of their rnis- takes. First year language students learn the basic structure and vocabulary of the language. Second, third, and fourth year students study the customs and history of the country, learn to speak more fluently, and increase their reading ability. With more and more colleges requiring a for- eign language, East offers more than an adequate background for its college-bound students.

NEEDLE IN, machine foot down to hold the ma- V V V terial firmly, and Cheryl Hendry, ,66, begins her latest SCWIUS PYOJCCL IN A PRESSING SITUATION, Corkie Cotter, '65, hurries to add the final touches to her clothing as- signment. Home ECOH07?2i6S- Fashion, F00aQ Flowers Stressed For Future WHATS COOKING ? seems to be the appropriate question to ask Fran Miles, '65, and Lynn Lindley, ,64. HOMEMAKING is more than burned fingers and pin cushions to the 546 stu- dents enrolled in the home economics de- partment of East High School. The effi- cient homemaker of today must not only be well-informed in the fields of food, cloth- ing, and child care, but also in home man- agement, family living, and interior dec- oration. Students gain practical experience in cooking and meal planning through table setting, menu planning, and baking con- tests. Girls taking clothing have an oppor- tunity to display their ability by modeling their own creations in a fashion show pre- I sented to the student body each spring. This year, classes have been programmed in order to allow each person to advance with others of similar ability. The four home economics teachers keep Aces in- formed about homemaking careers while preparing them for successful home living.
