Doherty, S. Bialecki. The Guidance Department offers many services to the students of our school; counseling and testing are just two. Through counseling, the col- lege-bound student is encouraged to follow a four-year program in which he completes specific steps each year. Vocational students are given the opportunity to hear speakers who represent many different careers and to visit various businesses and industrial plants in order to help them decide on their future jobs. All students receive general aptitude, interest and achievement tests,- others are tested to measure specific skills. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Regional has intensified its efforts in the Mathematics Department. Al- gebra 2 has been added to follow in sequence elementary Algebra for those students who have selec- ted the accelerated or enriched program. The math program offers an excellent opportunity for those students who wish to continue in the field of mathematics. L. to R.: M. Lefever, H. Crawford, M. Giannone, T. Gambino.

Two more courses, biology and physics, were added to chemistry to complete the cycle of our advanced courses.

AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT The Agriculture Department is designed to prepare students for further work in agricul- ture, either in a career upon graduation or in college. The students also participate in community affairs. Each year they hold a fair to inform the community of their projects, and at Christmas time the Future Farmers of America sponsor a food drive so that the needy may enjoy a Yule- tide feast. HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT By emphasizing those skills, atti- tudes, and ideas that apply to a girl ' s daily life, the Home Eco- nomics Department attempts to pre- pare her for the en|oyment and satisfactions of successful home living in later years. Through such courses as Foods, Clothing, Home Decoration, and Home Manage- ment, practical experiences are provided as often as possible to offer realistic situations for effec- tive learning.

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT A knowledge of social sudies enables the student to weigh political, social, and economic problems in the past, present, and future. In addition to sound basic courses in United States history, Regional offers a diversified program including the Foundations of American Culture, History of the Far East, and Development of Western Thought. The department has been especially successful in its introduction of an advanced course in United States history.
