The many art forms and media including watercolors, tempra, pen and ink drawing, wood lamination, cut paper, ehalks and charcoal, basic letter forms, and paper maehe were studied. Great eras and representative figures in art history were also studied. The Department sponsors a Fine Arts Festival during the spring term so that these fields may be seen in Combination. Over a period of two or three days musical concerts, dramatic events, and art displays are presented for the students and the school community as well. fans, v Q , fl I-U45 f Mr. Donald Hayden Mrs. Ruth Sehlenker Mr. Robert Moran 1 6 l

LANGUAGES As in other high schools in Rochester, foreign languages are now being studied for a longer period of time at JMHS. French and Spanish are offered to eighth grade pupils, with the idea that the study of one language be continued to the time of graduation. A second foreign language may be begun later if the pupil so desires. A Regents examina- tion is no longer given until the completion of three years of French or Spanish. This test now emphasizes under- standing the spoken and written language. We find that the language laboratory is helping to train in these respects. The pupils hear not only the voice of the teacher, but, from the tapes and discs, that of native speakers of the language, at varying speeds. Pupils are trained to under- stand and speak the foreign language before learning to read and write it. This is, after all, the way we learned our English. Mr. Donald Clark Department Head E M..

The Home Economics Seminar is de- signed for the senior girl, who, be- cause of a heavy academic pro- gram has been unable to elect Home Economics courses previ- ously. Mr. Marinus Heuscvelt hir.
