,-...Q ART .iff The Art Department focuses on physical expression of one's thoughts. General Art is an introduction to the subject, while Art Major is a more intensive study. These are supplemented by semester long courses in topics ranging from ceramics to jewelry. The creative facet of the fashion world is covered in Fashion Illustration, while a course emphasizing clay construction en- courages exploration of spatial forms. Many students find a new world when they discover the joy of artistic expression and derive a satisfaction from creating in a way that no other field can bring. 1 A L Wir:-J n up-A-W n' 'thi ai tj .-f Qi?

GUIDANCE Familiar to all Livingston High School students is the multifaceted Guidance Department. Now in his sec- ond year as director, Mr. Donald Turner helps make the department valuable in its service to the school. Mr. Turner and the school's seven counselors pro- vide students with general information about sched- ules, college selection, and career opportunities as well as specific information on an individual basis. Last year Mr. Turner instituted Guidelines, a weekly newsletter containing information about college visi- tation, financial aid, job opportunities and educa- tional programs. The other functions of the depart- ment are served by the Career Resource Center. Complete with its own computer terminal, the Re- source Center furnishes computerized information about colleges, financial aid, the military services and post-graduate programs. ln addition, the re- source area maintains a library of college catalogues and reference material. Not only does the depart- ment expose students and parents to educational and career opportunities, but it also offers informa- tion necessary for students to attain their goals. The Guidance Department supports the students at LHS and hopes they will continue to use the various re- sources and personnel available. . MR. ROBERT FEE MR. JOHN MAZZONE MR.

ENGLISH Appreciation and respect for the English language is the ultimate goal the English Department at Liv- ingston High School has for its students. To achieve these ends, the faculty concentrates on teaching the skills of the written and spoken expression of language. Students are instructed in the analysis literature and its application to the society in which we liveg the ability' to approach literature in this fashion necessitates the use and reinforcement of the language skills already mentioned. ln the sophomore year, students are given a in- struction in composition work, research technique and library science skills. American literature is of- fered on this level. The juniors are given a back- ground in British literature and are required to write a research paper utilizing writing and research skillsg these include the use of library sources, note cards, footnoting and a bibliography. A concentration on composition writing is continuous throughout the three years of English at L.H.S. This year an English ll Honors Course has been added which offers literature of the world and serves as a kind of preparatory course for English lll and IV Advanced Placement. On the senior level, semester courses in elective subjects enable the student to choose specialized areas in which he has an interest. American Humor, Advanced Techniques of Writing, Steinbeck's Fiction, and Homeric Myths exemplify the diversity of elective courses offered in the field of English. All in all, the department strives to enable students to further develop and utilize the communication skills necessary for effective partici- pation in today's society. A C.A.S.T.
