Class activities consist of such things as decorating the cafeteria for the Homecoming Dance, playing in Powderpuff Football games or using our voices and school spirit to make it our class that yells the loudest at a pep rally. No matter what activity we face, the Juniors work as a team to try to get it done. The eleventh year is an important time in the lives of all Juniors, for reasons other than the excitement. During this year, we become involved in making plans for our future. Plans may range from going away to college for many years or traveling around the world, to getting a job and working for a living. No matter what it is that we plan to do. we will make our Junior year one of fun and enjoyment, something to remember in the years to come. Janet Price.

Although this is our first year in the senior high, we. as Sophomores at Methacton. seem ready to adjust to the change of atmosphere and buildings. Here, in the senior high, the tempo is different. Everything moves faster, probably because of the wider variety in our schedules. We can take general, academic, and business courses and accelerated courses in math and science. Our reper- tory of course offerings is much larger and, for the first time, we are offered the opportunity to attend North Montco Vocational-Technical School. Besides academic work, extra-curricular activities be- come more important. We. now. are eligible to partici- pate in a greater variety of sports. The varied senior high activities and class committees are within our reach, for this is the year we organize as a class. Even though we may not actively participate, our presence enables us to gain insight that will help when we become Juniors. These choices and freedoms mean added responsibili- ties, but Methacton's Sophomores are handling the bur- den well. HOMEROOM 124. FIRST ROW: Doug Borie. Dale Barrett. Nancy Gra- ham. Laura Adrian.

This group organizes the several Activity Nights throughout the year, along with the Christmas Dance. They learn to debate on issues such as candy machines, open study halls, and learn how to take care of funds. This is a valuable experience for those interest- ed in Senior High Council.

Although we are not officially members of the senior high, as Methacton's ninth graders, we are treated al- most as equals to the older students. We bear the pres- tige of being the oldest in the junior high and. therefore, have more ' extras'' than the eighth graders. Our curric- ulum includes one major elective and several minor ones. Guitar is offered two periods a week, as are art, chorus, and home economics. All ninth graders are given the chance to take either a language, exploratory shop, metal working or homemaking. Three major facets of both science and English are taught, providing variety in teachers and courses. With four available math courses, we are sure to find something that interests us. Near the end of the year, we have a formal dance. This is the perfect end to two years in the junior high and is a fun-filled night. Along with our new freedoms goes responsibility, which is possessed by all ninth grade graduates, to varying de- grees. and will help prepare them for the years to follow. 109 TOP: HOMEROOM 107.

Methacton’s eighth graders face another year of being the youngest in the junior high. This situation does not seem to hamper us greatly. Although band is the only major elective available, our diversified schedule is enough compensation to us. A language and advanced math courses are offered to stu- dents who wish to take them and are able to meet the prerequisites. Several minor courses, such as music, art. photography and home economics, are also available. As eighth graders, we are allowed somewhat more free- dom than we were last year. We can now get involved in Student Council to a greater degree and Activities Nights, sponsored by Student Council, introduce us to Methacton’s social life. These benefits, given to eighth grade students, will aid us when we have to meet the demands of the senior high. 118 fulfill our needs HOMEROOM 106. FRONT ROW: Pamela Buschman. Gregory Bran- ham.

Our track team was edged out of victory in a meet against Abington, but defeated Upper Perkiomen. Cheltenham, and Springfield by a score of 30 or more points in each case. 131 In spite of hard practices, much individual and team ef- fort. and desire to win, the 1973 Methacton Senior High Lacrosse team had a discouraging season. With records of 0 and 9, for the Varsity and 2 and 7 for the J.V.. the teams, coached by Miss Bosler. ended the season with the hope that the experience they gained throughout the spring will enhance their chances for a brighter season in 1974. A highlight of the Varsity season, which saw many diffi- cult, hard-fought battles, was a near win over Upper Moreland. The final score of this closely-played game was 5-6. BELOW: Loralea Landis.

Out of the 12 games played, the most exciting one was against Abington. when Methacton won in a 2-0 shut-out. The J.V. team won two shut-outs, one 6-0 against Norris- town. and the other 1-0 over Cheltenham. MHS J.V.'s concluded their season with the good showing of eight wins, and four losses. Both teams had to postpone two games because of weather, and later cancelled them because the out- come of the games would not affect Methacton’s league standing or any other team’s. Fighting determination produces a good record. Next year. Methacton’s baseball team look forward to having a more triumphant season. 135 RIGHT: Joanne Kordek.

The Varsity finished with eight losses; the Junior Varsity ended the season with a .500 average. The girls and coach. Miss Boehner. look forward to a brighter and more victorious season next year. The past season was found to be encouraging, for in each individual match there was evidence of improvement in technique and strategy. Many things were gained which the scores may not show and the most important of these were the experience of playing, getting along to- gether and the chance to learn good sportsmanship.

A disappointing season can describe the record with which the boys finished one win and eight losses. Though the boys tennis team worked hard under their coach. Mr. Scelba. and put in hard practices, the amount of team victories didn't reflect that hard work. The boys’ tennis team hopes the upcoming year will not lack the drive or effort which the team put forth this year, but. also, that it will bring more experience and improve- ment which will helpthem achievea winningseason.

Methacton battled fiercely in each game, but many times could not score enough points necessary to triumph over their opponents. The Varsity finished a long, occa- sionally bright season with two wins, one tie ana eight losses. The J.V. season ended with a record of three wins, two ties and five losses. The high point of the season came when our mighty War- riors. led by team co-captains Chris Fell and Kevin Malo- ney. battled against the powerful Plymouth-Whitemarsh team at P.W. The Methacton men scored a moral victory by tying one of the most powerful and undefeated teams in the league. The football men. Coach Hutchinson, and Assistant Coaches Dean.

The season proved to be a trying one for all involved in that many times they could only score enough goals to tie the opponent rather than to surpass them. The Varsity had a record of one win. six ties and three losses and the J.V. record was two wins, two ties and six losses. This year there were a couple of new items which added to the season. The first was a new Assistant Coach. Miss Bolton, and. second, was an additional third team. This third team evolved so that girls who do not get the oppor- tunity to play in either Varsity or J.V. games can get a chance to play and participate. There proved to be a few highlights in the girls hockey season. An unexpected win over Upper Merion and ties with Norristown and Springfield brightened spirits and boosted the morale of the girls.

The 1973 Cross Country team had the best season of any Methacton fall sports, with a record of six wins and six losses. The team did not go undefeated, but did fight and practice hard. The harriers put out much hard effort, lead by their co-captains Terry Krips and Dave Love, and were rewarded with six victories. One major event which hampered the team was an inju- ry which occured to one of Methacton's best runners and co-captain Dave Love. This injury to his upper thigh hap- pened in practice and he could not complete the rest of the season. The Warriors had difficulty attaining their full potential because of this major mishap. The team looks to a more victorious season in the fall of 1974 and hopes that, with improvement and superb coaching from Mr. Shank, they can acquire an even bet- ter record.

These peppy girls attend almost ev- ery sports event and cry bleacher-rumbling cheers to rouse spirit. If not cheering, the cheerleaders are selling candy at games or working at other fund raising activi- ties, such as selling buttons and various other items. But, at all times, the cheerleaders are involved with the school and its basic spirit. This year, for the first time in five years, the girls had a new coach.

They are three and one in 4 Polar Bear Olympics at Norristown dual meets. This outstanding showing can be contrib- uted to the team's hard work and outdoor practices during which they must brave the nippy and bitter cold everyday. A highlight in the season will be when Dave Love com- petes in the Meet of Champions at Princeton University. At this meet, only the best compete. Coaches Markmov and Shank and team look to a conti- nuing string of victories and are working hard to attain this goal. The amount of effort can not be measured. The Junior High Lacrosse team, both Varsity and J.V., had a disappointing season. The Varsity wound up with a record of two ties and six losses and the J.V. ended with a two win and six loss record.

Their only win came as a two-nothing victory over Plymouth. The J.V.'s were without victory until after their fifth game. However, both teams rallied at the end of the season, each taking two of their last three games. The victorious close brought the Varsity record to three, three, three and the J.V. record to two-four-two.

Mr. Punchur and Mr. VanZandt take advantage of a few minutes before their meeting to debate their views on an agenda item. The Methacton School Board is responsible for formulat- ing the policies of our school. The Board is composed of dedicated people whom, in addition to their regular jobs, were elected to take on the responsibilities of directing a large school district. The present members and their President. Mr. Arthur Hibbets, have had a great deal of experience in making decisions, and are extremely cap- able. Our School Board sets school policies. The School Board, also, provides for the expansion of the Methacton district by projecting the new enrollments. A few years ago, it was evident that our school district would be growing at a rapid rate, so it was decided that new school buildings were necessary. The Arrowhead School is in the process of being built, and the Areola Junior High was completed this year. 178 Vincent F. Farina Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Vincent Farina, Mr. Paul Swank. One of Mr. Farina’s many responsibilities is to work in close coopera- tion with our School Board. Here. Mr. Farina chats with School Board Member. Mr. Swank, before the meeting gets underway. To the Class of 1974: Change is but one of the many concerns with which the school board and the administration must deal. Thirteen years ago our greatest concern was with housing. Sec- ond in significance to housing was the problem of people or staffing — getting enough of those who were suffi- ciently well qualified to man the progressively intricate functions of teaching and administering the educational program. Today, the issues appear to be all encompass- ing. and they involve and are influenced by a multitude of stimuli: people, technology, social change, priorities, etc. The byword was “tracks” — college bound, business and industry. Now the emphasis is alternatives, just to men- tion a few: career education, vocational-technical, pro- grams for the exceptional both retarded and enriched, work experience, work sheltered programs, learning cen- ters. mini-courses, outdoor education, team teaching, tutorial assistance, educational television, individualiza- tion of instruction, instrumental music, and adaptive physical education — the humanistic aproach to the individual. We have dedicated ourselves to meet the challenge of change with a wider variety of courses and extra-curric- ular activities for all — both girls and boys. An important attitude toward any job is the willingness to assume new or greater responsibilities and the accountability that goes with it. However, may I remind you that any kind of sharing in change and diversification is more likely to succeed when the plans for action are modest and made with understanding and cooperation as contrasted to “power playing.” Be mindful that change and diversity necessitate a wil- ingness to accept new information. Only after you have searched out the facts and arrived at tentative truths in your search toward predetermined goals are you ready for change. As we say so long and Godspeed we want you to know that our aim will be to continue to create quality educa- tion in which students with a broad range of capacities and talents can make the most of their classroom years My very best wishes and congratulations to all of you. Most sincerely yours. 179 One of the most important aspects of education is the effective development of instruction. This must be ac- complished through flexibility and perception. Through these elements will be created a “diversified” curriculum that “turns people on.” Diversification has created requirements of greater knowledge, highly developed skills, and improved atti- tudes. Unprecedented demands have been made on our schools to achieve quality in all these areas. The Class of 1974 will be the measurement necessary to appraise the worth, durability and appropriateness of our educational system. From new knowledge rises new cultures. Learn, borrow and enhance your own society. Aldo J. Bonomi Senior High Principal. Elbert S. Solt Administrative Assistant for Pupil Person- John T. Klock Junior High Principal, nel Services. The Administration carries out the policies 180 This year, the Methacton administrators have become involved in making our school more meaningful to the students. Their main objective is to prepare the students to cope with everyday life. Two ways Mr. Bonomi, our Principal, has tried to realize this goal are by updating the curriculum and persuading the students to become involved in school activities. The Student-Faculty Advisory Committee was reactivat- ed in order to suggest ways to alter Methacton’s program of studies. It was this committee which introduced the idea of having mini-courses at Methacton. This year, there is a noticeable difference in the atmo- sphere of the school; more students have become in- volved in extra-curricular activities. Even so. it is felt that in order to uplift the feeling of pride in our school, total involvement is needed. William R. Hummer Administrative Assistant for Elemen- tary Education.

Scheduling physical examinations, arranging for spe- cial hearing tests and immunization programs are just a few of the jobs of the nurses at Methacton, stated Mrs. Fishburn, Senior High school nurse. The nurses are often seen coming to the rescue of many “ill” students with the aid of their trusty bottles of aspirin and band-aids. Mrs. Fishburn and Miss Heckler, the Junior High school nurse, are responsible for maintaining comprehensive health records for every student at Methacton. Our nurs- es. also, are required to make available current informa- tion on the physical and psychological growth and devel- opment of the students, for use by the school profession- al staff. Along with all of these responsibilities, the nurses must put up with the many victims of testaches and home- workitis, which are all part of the daily goings-on in our Health Suite. Methacton’s libraries are the best place in the school to look for information about almost any topic. Shelves of almost 20,000 books, files containing over one hundred different magazines, pamphlets and daily newspapers, and numerous sets of encyclopedias provide a wealth of information on a variety of subjects.

BELOW LEFT: Jean Fishburn Nurse. ABOVE RIGHT: Newert S. Kaplan, Librarian. The libraries carry filmstrips, records, and casettes. for use by the teachers. A professional library, also for teacher use. lists many books pertaining to education. Posters, artwork, and college catalogues are additional material available for us. Both the duplicating machine and the microfilm machine can be used to copy articles and pictures. At first glance the library, with its many shelves of books and reference material, might look a little confusing to a novice user of the library. With the help of Mrs. Kaplan, the librarian, her assistants and the card catalog, it is easy to find whatever is needed. Whether we want a place to study or just relax, the library, is isolated from the sounds of the school, is an ideal place to find peace and quiet. No matter what is needed, the library, filed with its many resources, is always ready for use by whole classes or single individuals. We are fortunate to have such modern up to date and pleasant facilities at our disposal. LEFT: Jane Shepard Library Assistant. RIGHT: Judith Meisner Jr. High Librarian.

The Guidance Department may very well be one of the most helpful and important departments in the entire school. Working with individual students, parents, and teachers, developing schedules, arranging conferences, and meeting with college representatives are the prime concerns of the members of this department, supervised by Mrs. Cornell, the Department Chairman. Our counse- lors are mostly concerned with getting to know and un- derstand each and every student they come in contact with. The Guidance Department is in charge of the academic tests, such as the SAT. PSAT. and NEDT test, given to students who intend to further their education by going to college. The counselors attend conferences, visit col- leges. participate in college classes, and are responsible for compiling recommendations for college applicants from Methacton. The Guidance Department is commit- ted to the goal of helping students to cope with everyday problems so they are better prepared to live their future lives to the fullest. 185 RIGHT: Barbara G. Clipsham Social Studies; Sr. High Hockey. The past, present, and future intermingle in Methacton’s numerous history courses. Years of development are spanned in a single day. a single period. Featured this year at Methacton are the many history- oriented ‘‘mini-courses offered to Seniors. These one semester electives aim toward a better understanding of the conditions the world is in and why. Economics focus- es on the major problems of our times, the things stu- dents will face soon after graduation. To introduce pupils to the world of work. Mr. Todd, the Department Chair- man. has initiated Career Economics, which investigates the jobs available and which job is best for individual students. Asian Studies China and Asian Studies Japan give an in-depth look at these major countries and. to further understanding of the communistic system. Mr. Marinkov teaches Russian Communism. Besides these specialized courses, there is a general so- cial studies course in each grade. World cultures, taught to sophomores, developes an appreciation of different peoples throughout the world. This class is available according to different levels of achievement. In eleventh grade, the emphasis is shifted to United States History and Pennsylvania Cultures. Combined with their twelfth grade electives, these courses give the students a com- prehensive background of many topics. The social studies department uses various teaching methods to get their ideas across to students. Filmstrips and movies, both modern and outdated, and discus- sions. usually ending in arguments, are a few of these techniques. This style of teaching will help the Social Studies teachers in their quest to help us know what has happened and what is going to happen. BELOW LEFT: Richard K. Dyer Social Studies.

Well, the basic goal of Driver s Ed is to tram teenagers to drive safely.” stated Mr. Ehrhart. Head of the Driver’s Education Department. This is the prime directive of Mr. Ehrhart. Mr. Ott and Mrs. Wolfe, the Driver’s Education instructors in the high school. The program offered con- sists of two phases; the first is classroom theory, the second is the application, using cars supplied by a local dealer each year. Students in the second phase of the course are required to have a learner’s permit. After completion of these two phases, students are eligible to receive a senior license at age 17 instead of 18 years. After successful completion of the course, new drivers will be awarded an insurance reduction by most car in- surance companies. Although many students benefit from the standard course each year, the Driver’s Education Department has expanded their program this year. This program, named the Semi-Independent Course, was conceived for the hard working, highly academic student who lacks the time for Driver's Education during school hours. The course is designed so that the student does all theory work at home, after and before school, and during study halls. This course also includes one hour meetings with the teacher after school. A student who completes this course is entitled to the same benefits that are received by students completing the regular two phase course. Plans for future improvements are the purchasing of driving simulators, and the development of a Defensive Driving Review Course for teenagers, adults, and even school bus drivers. 188 The knowledge of a new skill can be of use to ABOVE: Martin J. Duffy Foreign Language. English. FAR LEFT: Lynn Zierdt Foreign Language; Senior Class Sponsor. Spanish National Honor Society. LEFT: David A. Mainhart Foreign Language. Methacton’s Foreign Language Department provides a solid language background for the college-bound stu- dent. The department utilizes a wide variety of learning techniques, enabling the students to learn a different language without great difficulty. Mr. Oelschlager. who is the Department Chairman, also teaches German. His classes emphasize German culture and conversation. The Spanish teachers. Mrs. Davis. Miss Zeirdt and Mrs. Comly. have a system whereby a student can work at his own pace. Language labs, filmstrips, and magazines help Mrs. McDowell teach French. At Methac- ton. the small size of the Latin class allows Mr. Duffy to give special attention to each scholar. In order to apply what they have been taught, the stu- dents have the opportunity to go to Europe during the Easter vacation. It is felt that it is not sufficient to speak a foreign language, but that students should be afforded a first hand opportunity to learn about the customs and culture of the people who use it every day.

The English Department, under the supervision of Mr. Cusumano. covers a wide variety of subjects during the year — journalism, speech, drama, and reading novels — which help the students to use their imagination fully. BELOW LEFT: Jane Webster English; Sr. High Cheer- leaders. BELOW RIGHT: Jean W. Schwartz English; YEA Sponsor. Book reports are one topic encountered in English class. Evaluating both the theme and ideas of different au- thors. it is easily discovered that every author has differ- ent ideas and opinions on the same subject. Learning to value opinions and put thoughts in the proper perspec- tive after reading several books, plays a large role in Eng- lish courses. This year the department has devised a new way to cap- ture interest in English by the use of ‘mini-courses . These courses, taught by Mr. Menichello. Mr. Clinton and other English teachers are offered primarily to seniors and cover such things as Mass Communications. Jour- nalism and Creative Writing. These courses give students more of a variety of studying English. Different methods of learning English help the students to put the basic fundamentals to work in a creative and interesting manner. 191 Mr. James Hutchinson.

Over the past few years the Reading Department, under the supervision of Mr. Forrest, has changed its ways of teaching to give students with different reading abilities the same opportunities to learn. Most of the eighth grade sections, which meet three times a week, are divided into two groups according to their reading levels. Arranging the classes this way enables the teachers to give more attention and individual help to the students who might need it. A few ninth grade classes that have reading meet two times a week, but they are still being taught as a whole class without many changes. This year the reading teachers are trying to stress more developmental reading, as well as the corrective types taught in the past. ABOVE LEFT: Robert J. Zona Reading. ABOVE: Joan C.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Cornell, who acts as Department Chairman. Miss Henderson. Mr. Hansell and Miss Bolton — a new teacher this year — spend much dedicated time striving to give their stu- dents the very best preparation to lead a confident, se- cure life. Through both classroom and individual instruction, the department is teaching the students how to live and function in our society. Students are taught about family living, managing finances, books, plays and many other fields of interest. The exceptional student learns the same things that oth- er students do. in a different manner. Special Education teachers make greater use of the world we live in as an instructor, with outdoor trips and different techniques that produce many vivid learning experiences. A touch of realism is added to the reading of books by having students act out parts of the book. Creative writ- ing and certain types of grammar are, also, part of the curriculum. The Ninth grade students are instructed in banking, paychecks, postal orders, how to deal with money and pre-vocational skills. master a skill is rewarding in any subject. ABOVE LEFT: Sally J.

The science program at Methacton has so many facets that it is difficult to mention them all. As students go from grade eight to grade twelve, they can acquire a comprehensive background in many science-oriented subjects. The three tenth grade biology courses are geared to stu- dents on different academic levels. All of these classes include the study of living things in relation to functions and environment. In order to learn this, animals are dis- sected throughout the year under modern lab condi- tions. Advanced Biology is offered to those seniors who want or need a more extensive study of biology. Two major electives available to eleventh and twelfth graders are Chemistry I and II. The emphasis in these courses is laboratory work, using modern equipment. Mr. Baldassano, the Department Chairman, makes sure all necessary precautions are taken before the students start experimentation. Physics is offered to seniors planning to go to college. Taught by Mr. Bergandino. this course is concerned with the study of mechanics, heat, light, sound and other re- lated topics. For Methacton graduates, the education received through the science department should be more than adequate to help them succeed in college science cours- es and to cope with and understand everyday application of science.

The Methacton Mathematics Department is character- ized by vitality, interest in innovative ideas and dedica- tion to the purpose of education. Under the direction of Mr. Charles Wisner. members of the department have accomplished many worthwhile goals and have acquired certain trademarks in their teaching careers. Students will recall, sometimes with amusement, sometimes not. such things as Mr. Emery’s demonstrative methods. Mr. Wisner’s daily challenges and “jokes”. Mr. Romano’s M.A. and A.M. methods and his yo-yo cartoons, Mr. Kapp’s hanging geometric models. Mr. Houser’s trick knee and Mr. Rader’s “polished mathematician”. Re- gardless of their idosyncrasies. each member of the de- partment. in his or her own unique way. has done his best to offer our students a varied, comprehensive math program. A major goal of the department this year was the empha- sis on educating the students about the metric system of measurement and clarifying previous knowledge. This goal is timely, for it is apparent that use of the metric system will soon be universal. Math teachers accom- plished the goal in various ways from using filmstrips and cassettes to revising old problems to using a method of comparison with three-dimensional models. Another area which merits recognition is the Direct Pro- gram in which Mrs. Wait is involved. Through this pro- gram which encompasses all subject areas, mathemat- ics is made more meaningful and interesting to the non- academic students who participate. Initiated several years ago. Mr. Emery’s Computer Math course has prov- en successful and continues to train academic students in the area of computer program writing. At course selection time, the math teachers make an effort to give individual guidance to each student, so that students get into a course best suited for them. The mathematics department continues to revise and update courses in order for our students to be thoroughly pre- pared for post-high school years, whether these include college, work or homemaking and will continue to search for new programs to accomplish this never end- inggoal.

In these days, when physical fitness is so important, it is a necessity for all schools to have a good Health and Physical Education Department, like the one at Methac- ton. Under the direction of Mr. Dean. Department Chair- man. students are being taught health, gym. and swim- ming for their share of health knowledge and physical exercise. In gym classes, the teachers always come up with some unusual game to play, such as Norwegian Basketball. Bombardment. Kill Ball, or Miss Bosler’s famous relay races. In the Junior High, swimming, is taught on a week- ly basis, where Mr. Sauer and Miss Ellis help students to master strokes and dives, as well as some lifesaving techniques. In order for students to become more aware of physical fitness, a health course is required of both ninth and eleventh graders. Miss Motten. Mr. Costello and the other health teachers make use of many charts and diagrams, as well as a human skeleton to show students the ways their minds, as well as their bodies function. Because of the variety of courses and teachers, students have the opportunity to get their share of fun and knowl- edge from their physical education program. 198 ABOVE LEFT: Stuart A.

Physical Education promotes the understanding of our bodies through the use of them. 199 Whether as a credit course or an extra-curricular activi- ty. almost every student can find something in the field of music to interest him. Under the direction of Mr. Twi- ford, the marching band and band front provide half- time entertainment during the football season. Students participating in these groups learn the meaning of com- petition. while they get a better overall knowledge of music. Both Concert Band and Chorus are major electives in this area. The chorus, run by Mr. Prager. sings at various community affairs and school functions. A yearly event is the Christmas Concert, where the band and chorus perform side by side, as the band front executes its Christmas routine. For beginning or experienced guitar players, Methacton offers Vocal Guitar 1 and 2. Available in both the senior and junior high, these courses teach the many styles of singing and playing with guitar. The department and Mr. Giamo. the Department Chair- man. take into consideration the advanced musician who plans to make a career of music. Jazz band, brass, and percussion are offered to these students, and those who want a better knowledge of their instrument, as minor electives. There is also a woodwind ensemble and quintet, for similar purposes. For students not planning to major in music, these courses are both worthwhile and enjoyable. Methacton’s music teachers have managed, through modern classes and teaching methods, to find a place for everyone in this varied field. ABOVE: Louis S.

There have been many changes made in the Home Eco- nomics Department over the past few years. In the Ju- nior High, classes have been changed from one double period a week to two single ones and. now. ninth grade boys who are interested can take Home Economics. In the eighth grade sections the Home Economics and In- dustrial Arts classes switch for two weeks out of each semester. This gives the students the opportunity to learn about new things. The Senior High Home Economics teachers, with the aid of Mrs. Williman. the Department Chairman, have taken courses which have been taught for many years at Meth- acton and expanded them to fit into modern times. One of these courses is Contemporary Living, which is being offered to both boys and girls. This course is now taught in two parts; the first is about marriage and the family, where the good and bad points are discussed, while the second part goes a step further to deal with housing and other related topics. Other Home Economics courses in- clude Human Behavior, which is really a form of Psychol- ogy. Bachelor Living, and. food and clothing classes. One of the major goals of the Home Economics Department this year is to stress the ideas of family planning more than they have in the past. Famous artists who can be found almost anywhere in the world often get some of their knowledge and experience from taking art courses in schools such as Methacton. Here, qualified art teachers under the direction of Mr. Paladino. the Art Department Chairman, show students how to transform plain pieces of linoleum and shapeless blocks of clay into masterpieces, by the use of simple tools and imagination. This year some students are learning to use different kinds of art. such as cubism, to make more interesting paintings, while others are mak- ing use of words or phrases to form pictures. Other class- es are designing posters for a contest of which the theme is Employ the Handicapped . Regardless of whether a project is a complicated sculpture or just a simple pencil sketch, it is still a work of art to the creator. Art class is not all drawing and painting, as many may think. It also includes a study of the history of art and the lives of famous painters such as Picasso. Students are exposed to many different types of art which help them to understand and appreciate more about the art in the world around them. in a masterpiece. 201 Business Education introduces us to the working world. 202 MIDDLE RIGHT: Anna May Walz Business Education.

The Business Department is primarily set up for students who are interested in a business occupation after high school. This department, with Mr. Donmoyer as Depart- ment Chairman, offers a variety of courses that could be of use to everyone. With the aid of up-to-date machines such as electronic and printing calculators, duplicating machines, and IBM typewriters, it is possible to learn things directly applicable to the business office. One of the biggest changes made in the Business Depart- ment this year was the addition of new desks to Mrs. Walz’s Business Machines Course. These desks are used so each student has her own working area, as well as to provide more real-life office atmosphere. Another change was made in the Junior High where a Typing Sur- vey course was added as a ninth grade elective. The usual business courses — Typing. Accounting, and Shorthand, along with others — are still being taught. These courses can be of help to any student now as well as after graduation.

Industrial Arts teaches expression of individualism in many ways. In both the Senior and Junior High, the Industrial Arts Department, with Mr. Bucher acting as Department Chairman, prepares Methacton's students for our mod- ernistic society. A new course, photography, was intro- duced this year in the Junior High. By next year, this class may be available to all students. Its purpose is to give the students a basic knowledge of some of the fun- damentals of picture-taking and developing. An interesting feature is the two-week exchange of the students in electronics or graphic arts with the home economics classes. Offered only to participating eighth grade sections, this program is beneficial to all involved. Ninth graders can take as their major elective either Ex- ploratory Shop, which consists of woodworking, photog- raphy. and power mechanics, or Metal Working. Mechan- ical Drawing is taught twice weekly as a minor elective. In the Senior High. Industrial Arts is even more diversi- fied. Graphic Arts I. II. and III. taught by Mr. Bosler. are available, as are Woodworking. Metal and Architectural drawing. These courses are offered to all students. The major stress of this department is preparation for the future, and with Methacton's modern machines and techniques, this goal seems to be in sight. 203 MIDDLE RIGHT: Kenneth F.

Cafete- ria Ladies and Custodians, these diligent working people are usually seen in every corner of our school — typing, cleaning, or cooking. In the main offices. Mrs. McGinniss and Mrs. Croner have a wide variety of papers to type, calls to make, or announcements to read. At the other end of the school, in the cafeteria. Mrs. Mouar and her staff are working to prepare and serve a well-balanced meal for hundreds of students. The custodians, such as Mr. Jabs. Mr. Gregory. Mr. Eiswert. and Mr. Reiner, come early and stay late into the night to accomplish what needs to be done in the line of cleaning. After all this dai- ly work is accomplished, our secretaries, custodians and cafeteria ladies seem to be all smiles — oh. maybe a little weary around the edges — and ready for anything! From seventh to twelfth grades, some of us have ‘ grown-up’' with a lot of these congenial, helpful peole and have enjoyable memories of their friendship. 205 BELOW Miss Zierdt.
