Math Courses Teach Organized Ideas And Principles Mrs. Frankie Lee Babcock is chairman of the Fairmont Senior High Math Department — a de- partment which provides an ex- cellent foundation for the future mathematician. Business Math, General Math, Iunior-Senior Math, and Introductory Algebra are among some of the inter- mediate math courses offered at FSH. Included in the advanced courses are Algebra I, Algebra II, and Trigonometry-Math Analy- sis. Since so many professional oc- cupations today demand a knowl- edge of mathematical principles, students at Fairmont Senior are required to study a math course for at least two years.

IOYCCANN FLINT Music And Art Develop Freedom Of Expression The Fine Arts are well represented at FSH by the Departments of Music and Art. Music through the halls at Fairmont Senior may originate either vocally or instrumenlally. The Choral Department, under the direction of Miss Joyce Ann Flint, and the Instrumental De- partment, under the direction of Mr. Ronald Wood and Mr. Phillip Rossano, provide budding musicians with a knowledge of music theory, and an experience in live performance. The Choralier member or the band member spends as much time learning the fundamentals of music as he does practicing to show off what he has learned. The repeloire of both band and chorus is arranged to accommodate fa- miliarity with all styles and all forms of musical composition. Three years of art study are offered at Fairmont Senior High. In an art course, a student receives not only instruction for his own creative efforts, but also appreciation and respect for the works of the great masters. The Art Department keeps busy throughout the year by dis- playing exhibits of its work on the school bulletin boards, and by color- fully decorating the school halls at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.

Vocational Studies Train For The Future JUDITH MILLER RENEE MCKINNEY GLENN A MARTIN The Vocational and Technical Studies Department is the largest de- partment at West Fairmont, and provides the largest amount of training for students wishing to enter the business world. From typing to wood- shop to consumer education to commercial law, the student in the Vo- cational and Technical Studies Department learns the skill which will prove most successful to him in his chosen business career. A special feature of this multi-faceted department is access to the Fairmont Vocational Center. At the Center, a student may study a course not offered at school, or may acquire further knowledge in his specialized field. Family Living is the title of a new course added to the Vocational and Technical Studies Department this year. Sort of a preparation for adulthood, Family Living discusses and explores various family prob- lems and situations, and, among other studies, offers helpful sugges- tions for balancing the budget.
