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.

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.

French, Spanish, and Latin are among the languages presently offered at Fairmont Senior. Studies in these courses include pronunciation development, grammar, litera- ture, and current events. Students broaden their sociological relation- ships with knowledge of the social life, customs, and government of foreign countries, as well as knowledge of the language itself. This year, each language study sponsors a club and an honorary so- ciety for furthering knowledge. As proof of the department in motion, these organizations often take trips to cities of relevant interest. ARELLA PRUNYI GERALDINE PYLES WILLIAM REPPERT ELIZABETH RICE
