FAMILY LIVING AND CONSUMER EDUCATION “Education is not something in the air, cut off from the daily life of the student of from his future work as a citizen. Real education, it is felt, must be based on the actual environ- ment and experiences of the child, and must fit him for the work he will have to do in life- after.” M 1 ' m aSMmt From Left To Right: Ms. Maureen Kelly, Mrs. Elizabeth Ogonis, Mrs. Patricia Valias.

PHYSICAL EDUCA TION The Physical Education De- partment has developed a selec- tive program which has been of- fered for 3 years. Students meet 5 days a week and participate in various units of activity for a des- ignated period of time. Physical Education is no longer a recrea- tional period at Eermi High, but we feel it is a learning experience geared to the development of life- time sports and physical fitness. Realizing the system is not per- fect, we are continually changing and improving the program in the hope that more students can and will enjoy activity. Good luck tathe Class of ’75 P.E. Department Left to Right: Mr. Joseph Nuccio, Miss Rosemary Sullivan, Mrs. Lora Arnold, Mr. Robert Lengyel. SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies cur- riculum should prepare a student to make reflective, rational, and critical deci- sions about public issues. We must expose students to value conflicts over pub- lic issues in order to pre- pa ret he mf or thecom- plexities of public life.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION Industrial Education is an activity-oriented curriculum area concerned with problems of an industrial nature, and how to solve these prob- lems. This may be accomplished by recognizing and defining problems, thinking critically and objectively about them and acting constructively and creatively toward their solution.
