Many of the courses were con- A' densed into half-year programs to provide more variety, and to stimulate interest. Mrs. Theresa Muskoffjoined the faculty, this year, as a 'Next time d0H'f SGW UP the armhole- part-time teacher. She taught the basics of cooking, sewing, and good grooming on the Junior High level. Special projects included Christmas and Thanksgiving handicrafts, and child- care babysitting. Foods and Nutrition, which was formerly available for girls in grades nine through twelve, also became a refuge for hungry boys during the second semester. The boys learned the the essentials in cooking and caring for themselves. They were often heard referring to the class as a bachelor's course for survival or making it on your own. Clothing and textiles consisted of two separate courses again this year, both taught by Mrs. Grace Leanen. Course IIA was basic clothing. Girls learned about patterns, mater- ials. and operating sewing machines. Course IIB consisted mainly of individual projects which gave the girls an oppor- tunity to use the knowledge gained from Course IIA.

-1 A rfisiii, ,,.,: jg . tx r r Picasso himself couldn't have done better. Senior High Students have a wide variety of electives to choose from. ln- troduction to drawing and introduc- tion to painting, both half year pro- grams taught many different tech- niques to be followed in drawing or painting. Advance Studio Art was for students with more experience in art work. They did independent work pro- jects. The senior high level courses re- ceived some history of art, in addition to their other work. Mrs. Paula Her- mance presented slides of famous works, and works of her past students. Many times the art room gave the im- pression of utter chaos but Mrs. Her- mance found that although the radio blared and the students wandered about the room, they still produced excellent work. Junior High Art students learned rt the concepts of art through design- space, line, form, and texture. They learned how to draw and create through these techniques. Miss Donna Ioviero believes that all students have some talent and that they only have to be taught to work their mind and hands together. She tried to instill in her stu- dents that art is everywhere, in every- thingw, and anyone can create it. They worked with their hands to mold ob- jects out of clay, cardboard, paper mache and wire. After the students had achieved the basics they were allowed to do independent study. Students set their own goals and if they achieved these goals they received the mark they deserved for their work. The Art Department organized an Art Show in the spring to display their work to the public. DONNA IOVIERO -B.F.A. SUNY at Buffalo. Art Design.

Instead, a brown and white trailor was purchased and placed in a vacant area behind the Wolcott Street School building. The purpose of this trailor was to provide the space for a much needed program in helping students in grades tive through eight with their difficulties in the areas of mathemat- ics and reading. These students had sessions of one-half hour to forty-five minutes, at least three times a week, with either Mr. Thomas Norzcyk for reading or Mrs. Charmain Murnan for mathematics. The resource center is provided with modern equipment to simplify and expedite the learning process. These include a paperback read-along series fconsisting of tapes and booksj, calculators for mathematics, and a language master for vo- cabulary drills.

Arts f Iiv ts: 7,81 Wood I, II' Us: , The Industrial Arts Department is separated into two divisions, the wood shop and the metal shop. Courses are open to both boys and girls in grades seven through twelve. Seventh and Eighth grade shop was taught in an ex- ploratory fashion. They covered a broad area during a se- mester without going into depth on any one topic. The class was a sample to be followed up with more advanced courses in future years. Seventh grade students studied wood and drawing while eighth grade students studied electricity and metals. Wood I and II are twenty week courses open to grades nine through twelve. Students in Wood I are involved in fur- niture construction, lathe work, laminating, and veneering. Wood II deals with model house construction, repair work, electrical wiring, and work with machines involved in car- pentry. These students may also elect to study in the metal shop. Basic metals is a course which includes work with sheet metal, welding, metal lathe, and small engine repair. Advanced metal students learn to operate more advanced machinery and also study auto mechanics and auto body re- pair. Additional courses in the department include architec- tural drawing, and technical drawing. Architectural drawing deals with landscaping, maps, and blueprints. Students learn to design houses, and commercial buildings. Technical draw- ing is a two-phase course: technical drawing I and II. Stu- dents are introduced to all types of drawing including multi- view projection, pictorial, surveying, and electrical.
