it 5 tw qi sin Gur Business Department conscientiously prepares its stu- dents for careers in the business world, although all stu- dents, business-bound or college-bound, may elect any of its courses if they wish. Office practice, typing, book- keeping, stenography, business arithmetic, introduction to business, clerical practice, and sales and advertising are among the department's many offerings. Now, in the planning stage is a special work-study pro- gram which will enable students to workin industry while they are studying at school. The department hopes it will be put into effect next year. The Physical Education curriculum, although a compul- sory one, has become one of the liveliest programs in Pascack Valley. Due to the increased facilities both in- doors' and outdoors, including the new football field, there is now a variety of activities to suit the capabilities of every student. The many sports offered include basket- ball, football, volleyball, tennis, badminton, shuffle board, field hockey, tumbling, wrestling, baseball, golf, and track. This year the Music Department began to play a larger role in the new Freshman level Related Arts program which is concept-centered rather than subiect-centered. The Choir, a credit course, was established in addition to the many other vocal organizations such as Men's A A Glee Club, Girls' Glee Club, Freshman Chorus, Sopho- more Octet, and Choralleers, The Band, which is also a credit course, and other choral groups performed at many of the grammar schools which are located in the area.

P THE ART DEPARTMENT of Pascack Valley is proud of its many accomplishments. First, and foremost, is its participa- tion in the new Related Arts course which is given to Fresh- men. Here, in cooperation vvith the other three Related Arts sections - Music, Home Economics, and Industrial Arts - are taught the important concepts of creativity: those of form, color, line, and shape. In addition to work in the Related Arts Program, work is en- couraged in other areas of interest. Courses are offered in fine arts, general art, and Art Today, and a course called Designing With Materials is planned. THE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT assists in preparing the students for various skills related to homemaking. While not all the students will find opportunities to use all of these skills, they all obtain a better insight into the part they will be expected to play in family life. Some of the areas under which the girls study are: meal planning, preparing foods, marketing, good grooming, cloth- ing construction, budgeting, home care, furniture selection, room arrangement and decoration, and child care. 66 INDUSTRIAL ARTS, as a part of the Related Arts program, has the unique job of bringing industrial tool and machine information and experience into the lives of the ninth graders. Traditionally, Industrial Arts has been a boys' sub- iect, but the members of the department believe that everyone should have an opportunity to in- vestigate and experiment in this field. Therefore, the girls also take part in this program. This enables the girls to learn, to use and to recognize some of the tools and materials found in the mechanically- run homes of today. If any student wishes to continue, enrich or en- large his experiences in Industrial Arts, he may elect an Industrial Arts course for future years in high school and pursue his interests as far as he wishes.
