THE FACULTY USES TALENT AND ABILITY TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE The faculty is divided into special departments each helping to develop a special phase of educa- tion and aiding to prepare students for intelligent adult lives. The Music and Art Departments teach ap- preciation of the cultural and artistic side of life. Pupils learn the fundamentals of these subjects from grades 7 through 9. Those who wish to increase their knowledge and develop their talents may do so by taking either music or art as electives in grades 10 through 12. Stressing the skills of writing, speaking, dis- cussing, and thinking, the English Department strives to give students a complete understanding of the English language and a good background in modern and contemporary literature. Fundamental usage and a keener perception ofthe customs of other peoples are emphasized by the Foreign Language Department. In the realization of the need for studying the past, understanding the present, and preparing for the future, the Social Studies Department teaches by discussion rather than by regimenta- tion. Trips to the United Nations, County Court House, State Hospital, and County Prison pro- vide excellent opportunities for application of social studies. The Science Department olfers courses in general science, biology, chemistry, and physics in well-equipped classrooms and laboratories. Through experiments, audio-visual aids, and out-of-class projects, students acquire a better understanding of the sciences. The Mathematics Department acquaints the pupil with fundamental backgrounds in algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and arithmetic. Mathematics teaches pupils to think clearly and solve problems intelligently. The Physical Education Department provides wholesome recreation, builds character, and im- proves health. Health education teaches the functions of the human body and mind. Pupils planning to enter the business world are well-trained in the Business Education De- partment. On-the-job training is provided through the Co-operative Training Program during the second semester of the senior year. Driver Education, teaching the basic know- ledge of driving and of the automobile, Driver Training, giving on-the-road experience, the library, aiding the student in research and in general education, the school nurse and the dental hygienist taking care of the primary medical needs ofthe student, and the counseling service, helping students to adjust to school life and plan for the future, are all important functions of the Special Services Department. The Industrial Arts Department provides a background that will help students to fit into the world of work, the basis of our society. The five areas in this course are woods, electricity, metals, drawing, and graphic arts. The Home Living Department stresses the importance of nutrition, culinary arts, family relations, and child care in the building of a modern American home. ff .li C,HlCSTlfR l..ANGEl,0,B.S., GVVENDLYNJ.ARMITAGIC, JEROME E.
