Languages Open Realms Of Understanding Mr. Stronach explains a tricky passage during class. Vitally important in a world that ' s constantly becoming smaller is the knowledge of languages, the basis of all human relationships. The foreign language department, headed by Mrs. Vinson, offers French, Spanish, and Latin. Working in the new language laboratory provides students with the opportunity to hear a foreign language spoken by native people. With records, tape recorders, flash cards, and new Spanish workbooks, teachers are able to instruct students better. Art is also a way of communicating. It inspires sensitivity and imagination in the students of PHS and teaches pupils to look at things with a different perspective. Through singing and playing musical instruments to sculpturing and paint- ing, students learn to express their thoughts and feelings. 1 Mrs. Ward gives individual assistance in Spanish to Wanda McKinnon.

Mrs. Holland instructs David Carmichael, one of her few male typing students. Occupational Labs Added To Business Department Following the construction of the new vocational building, the business department has set up three new occupational laboratories. A stenogra- phic laboratory, a clerk laboratory, and an office service laboratory have been added to data processing. Supervisor for business education, Mr. Dewey Oakley, and the business teachers help students in the business course find a successful career in busi- ness. Thus, through the PHS business educational department, which offers subjects ranging from shorthand to business law to consumer economics, students are prepared to enter directly into various occupations upon gradua- tion from high school.
