The department also offers students opportunities to prepare for a two or four year program beyond high school in the fields of Accounting, Business Administration, or Secre- tarial Science. Emphasis is placed on the value of social con- tacts, the importance of civic responsibility, and the need for a well-adjusted personality. This is possible through such organizations as Distribu- tive Education Clubs of America and Fermi Chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America which function as extensions of all Business Education classes.

ART DEPA R TMENT “Man’s life differs from that of most other organisms in that individualization has become more important to him than strict conformity to i type. Individual capacity, viewpoint, choice and action are qualities that make us human. Self- expression, as manifested in art, distinguishes individuals as well as cultures. The artist’s prod- uct makes the man unique as much as his thumb print and signature single him out. Art gives voice to the self.’’ — The Arts and Man % Left to Right: Mrs. Jane Docker, Mr. Robert Foley, Mrs. Barbara Early.

FOREIGN LA NG UA GE DEPARTMENT Mr. Raymond Mercik, Department Head The Foreign Language Department realizes the importance of being bi-lingual in today’s ever changing world. In recognition of this, we offer all students sequential programs in French, German, Italian and Spanish where they can study the language, literature, culture, and history of these lan- guages. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are done at all levels in varying degrees of em- phasis. Latin has been included in our curriculum once again as students seek a better cultural understanding of classical antiquity and its im- plications in our present world.
