MR. EDWARD POLANSKI MR. CURTIS CLAWSON $101 . . . $103 . . . $104 . . . INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT The Industrial Arts program is designed to give each student some meaningful ex- perience in the areas of woodworking, metal, graphic arts, engineering drawing, and electronics. A special program has been incorporated into the engineering field which has been designed to give experience in both design and application for those planning to enter this field. A move towards more technical experience in the woodworking field has been put into effect this year. Many of the students who graduate do not find it necessary to further their education, and obtain jobs immediately. Those who do go on to college have a practical experience in the technical field which is very valuable. MR. ALFRED D’ANGELO 23

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Contrary to an all-too-common misconception, physical education is not designed as a recess or free play period; rather it is education through physical activity directed toward definite desir- able outcomes. Our program is achieving one of its long sought after objectives, that of progression of activities. Activities and the instruction that goes with them are suited to the age and grade levels of the students. The program has also expanded due to the addition of new equipment and space in the field of gymnastics. MR. ROBERT MEENCHAN Chairman MR. MICHAEL VANACORE At least this beats the cafeteria food. HOMEMAKING The Home Economics program strives to meet the challenge of preparing the students for successful personal and family living in our changing world. Students are guided to determine values, develop attitudes, acquire information and learn skills which they can apply to everyday experiences. The curriculum includes study in the areas of clothing and textiles, foods and nutrition, consumer education, home planning, child development, care of the sick and family relations.
