FOREIGN LANGUAGES ll Perhaps of all the creations of man, language is the most astonishing As we are developing, so is the world making progress. In the past it took weeks, sometimes months, to travel to other lands. But in today's world, iets and oceanliners take us to Europe and the Far East as easily as we travel to another state. Great minds have developed these modern means of transportation. ln 1970 we shall see an even greater improvement-a iet that can travel 2,000 miles per hour. There is no limit to the progress we can make in the future. So as minds develop, the world becomes smaller. Years ago, there was probably little need to know languages of other peoples. To be bi- lingual was, in most cases, a status symbol, only the rich could afford to travel and use their knowledge. In the wonderful, exciting world at the hands of us in the Class of 1964, however, we shall not have to be well-to-do to travel. Busi- ness, professional, and military opportunities offer us the chance to see the world at little cost. Knowing this, we seriously take to heart our foreign language courses. At Hasbrouck Heights High School we can de- velop our skills in German, French, and Spanish. Latin is also offered to those who wish to develop a strong literary and historical background knowl- edge. Here we learn the languages of European peoples as they are now learning English. With this there will be closer bonds among peoples in the future, and a stronger promise of peace. We must understand others before we can come to agreements with them. fi--M ' u ..- LEFT TO RIGHT: C. Bergquist, K. Epstein, Mr. Whit- comb, P.

BUSINESS EDUCATION R. Bagolie and M. Sartori-and a basic business skill. M. Outwater-and another basic skill. 'I'o those composing if, the business world is a marvel: to those observing, it is even more so. . . Hasbrouck Heights High School is very fortunate to have an efficient business course that includes general business training, commercial arithmetic, stenography, office prac- tice, typing, bookkeeping, and business machines. Teach- ing these courses are Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Hosler, Mrs. Free- man, and Mr. Godowski, the head of the department. This year a special program was set up for the girls in Steno. II and office practice. Each girl was placed in an office in or around the Hasbrouck Heights-Teterboro area for on-the-job training. These girls filed, typed, took dic- tation, used various business machines and practiced good business habits as a secretary for these offices and firms. A student completing this course has no difficulty ob- taining the position of her choice after graduation because of the complete program offered by our school.

FINE ARTS Every genuine work of art has as much reason for being as the earth and the sun. . . The Art classes offer a student media of wide voriety in which to work: painting, sculpture, and mobiles are iust a few examples. The informal class atmosphere enables each student to pursue his individual interests and it is conducive to originality. With Mr. AntoneIli's able assistance, one brings forth his own ideas and personality. Students are fortunate to receive art appreciation instruction once a week. This part of the course includes films and discussions which add interest and variety as well as cultural education. Examples of the students' current work is posted on the bulletin boards outside the art room. They add an attractive note to the decor of the corridors. John Somslry, a member of our class, won a scholarship in state-wide competition for his excellent sculpture of Moses. l.EFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Antonelli, .l. Stein- LEFT TO RIGHT: M. lodewylts, B.

Music is well said to be the speech of the angels. . Our music department is an especially active one. It is composed of the Band, Chorus, Chair, and two fairly new additions, the dance bond and music theory class. They are not merely clubs, but are credited courses in which grades are given. A member of any one of these organizations must recognize his responsibilities and obligations, He must be willing to attend the required rehearsals necessary to the success of the performances. We were all proud of our band's football half-time shows and its excellent routine performed at the Teaneck Armory Band Festival. We also Vere pleased with the performance of our choir at Christ- mas time in the Plaza. In order to maintain these high standards, the participants must adhere to the policies outlined by the directors. Miss Borski welcomes interested students to ioin the Chorus. The more talented members of the Chorus compose the Choir. The music theory class, band and dance band occupy most af Mr. Thomson's time. However, he is always willing to devote special attention to individual students. Nancy Christen, from our class, was chosen this year for All- County Chorus: David Hughes, a junior, was member of All-State Chorus and Choir: William Vickery, a freshman, played trombone in the All-State Junior High Band. Both Mr. Thomson and Miss Borski are willing ta help any inter- ested students to develop their musical abilities. 22
