Foreign lan ua es open communication With the world becoming smaller because of better transportation, more and more people are traveling to foreign lands. Thus, the Foreign Language department has taken on an increased importance for Fordson students. The emphasis in studying a foreign language is no longer on meeting college entrance requirements, but on learning to communicate in that language and to learn the culture of a particular country. This year, students in the Dearborn school system wishing advanced study of a language are bussed to a given school that offers the course, such as Advanced French, taught at Dearborn High School, for all three schools in the system.

Art and Music develop talents The wonderful, magical world of creativity — that is the realm of art and music. Both artist and musician take the lifeless matter of paint, stone, wood, clay, note on a page and create from them a form of life. The magic of creation begins with the fusion of the creator’s imagination and his material. It ends with a painting, a piece of sculpture, or a moving rendition of a Beethoven sonata that leaves the receiver or listener with an interpreta- tion of the world in which he lives. Thus, the study of art and music make a richer and fuller life. TOP: Mrs. Harvey passes her art talents on to her students. CENTER LEFT: Be careful, for Mr. Cramer is watch- ing.
