Since foreign languages have been taught in high schools, there has been a noticeable de- crease in language barriers throughout the world. The Language Department at E.C.S. offers sequences in French, Latin, and Span- ish. These electives, skillfully taught by Mr. Masiewicz, Mr. Reed, Miss Lombard, and Dr. Gibson, continue to familiarize the students not only with the foreign language itself, but with the cultural and geographic aspects of the lands where the language is spoken. A special language lab, equipped with microphones and earphones, helps to further the students' rela- tionship with their foreign language. Left to right: Miss Lombard, Mr. Masiewicz, Dr. Gibson, Mr. Flanigan Eden offers several business courses such as business math, secretarial practice, business typing, shorthand, and office practice in which a business student may major. Under the supervision of excellent teachers, students are prepared for jobs after gradua- tion. However, they may wish to improve their skills by entering a business college. Business students are always in great demand. B us 'n e Seated: Miss Witzleben, Mrs. Pasternak, Mr. Dzimian. Standing: Mr. Carlin, Mr. Colvin.

Mathematics The study of Mathematics is a means to develop organized thinking and obtain neces- sary data through various concepts. The courses of business arithmetic, algebra, geome- try, and trigonometry offered at Eden not only stress high school math material, but encour- age students to further their education to the college level. For this reason a new program, Math 12, was Created for seniors. Taught by Mr. Georger, this course delves into calculus presented in college. Let us not forget the dedi- cated teachers who prepare students for the demand in this complex age for basic math- ematical knowledge. Science Seated: Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Wilcox. Standing: Mr. Narraway, Miss DeMuro, Mr. Varco, Mr. Keats, Mr. Case. Seated: Mrs. Minnigh, Mrs. Brenneman. Standing: Mr. Bell. Mr. Georger, Mr. Burnside With today's great surge in world prog- ress. we must maintain an open mind for new and expanded technical scientific knowledge. Following this train of thought, we salute a relatively new staff of science teachers. From general science, health, and biology, to physics and chemistry, students attempt to gain knowledge and express in- terest while enjoying their work. Labora- tory work, which is required for biology, physics, and chemistry, helps the students to actually view and work with the material they study. This lab work may range from the dissection of worms and frogs to the formation of dangerous chlorine gas. It is certain that all science students receive ex- panded knowledge as well as satisfaction from their science course.

Physical Educalion Physical fitness is not an easy state to attain and remain in. As Miss Palmer, Miss Anderson, Mr. Sturm, and Mr. Hagen will tell you, there are several ways to keep fit without really trying. The extensive intramural program offered at Eden in- cludes sports such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, hockey, bad- minton, tennis, and ping pong. All sports offer organized competition and hours of fun. Participation in these sports proves that our generation wishes to continue the fitness pro- gram started by our late President Kennedy. Seated: Mr. Hagen, Miss Palmer. Standing: Mr. Sturm, Miss Anderson. One of the widest and most promising fields open to boys at Eden comes under the heading of Industrial Arts . Shop work for those who are creatively inclined is espe- cially popular at Eden. Through the print, metal, graphic, and wood shops, the boys who are planning to enter an industrial vo- cation acquire manual training.
