ELIZABETH RICE; A.B.; English. LINDA MORGAN EDWARD PENCE The FSH Language Department offers students the opportunity to learn many facets of a foreign language. 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

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.

Social Studies Lead To Universal Understanding LINDA ROSENBERGER PHILIP ROSSANO TINA RUGGIERO Although Social Studies usually conjure up an idea of history — past and present, the Social Studies Department at FSH con- centrates not only on history but on present forms of government, and on relations both diplomatic and domestic. This year, a new Social Studies course, called American Studies, has replaced the Civics course of previous years. In American Studies, students learn of the Federal, democratic form of gov- ernment, and its position and in- fluence in the world of today. Social Studies help increase knowledge of the present world and make aware history in the making. The world is somehow made smaller by study of foreign customs and governments, and by realization of common universal problems. Mr. Ed Pence serves as head of the Fairmont Senior Social Studies Department. ANGELINESAVERENO LINDA ROSENBERGER; B.A.; Introductory Algebra I, lunior-Senior Math; Lincoln- ettes.
