IV Art students are exposed not only to the rudimentary skills of the basic arts but also to the history of art and the techniques of the famous artists. Self expression is encouraged through the use of scupture, painting, sketching and ceramics. This year the Art Department undertook the task of rejuvenating the halls of the third floor in the Harding Road building with a series of murals depicting art through the ages. The aim of the Art Department is to foster good taste and creative individualism, in ad- dition to training in the techniques of art.

This year, for the first time, the French and German courses were extended to four years, with an emphasis being placed on contemporary literature. This year also saw the arrival of three new language teachers, Mrs. Jean Dacey and Mrs. Ellen Dunn, who form the new Span- ish Department, and Mrs. Mary Todt, who teaches French. Foreign language students frequently take trips to places of special interest to supplement classroom study. This year Spanish II and III classes visited Fairleigh Dickinson University for a panel discussion on prob- lems of Latin America. German students went to see the Father- land defeated in The Longest Day and Latin II students saw’ Caesar’s murder at Princeton when they viewed Julius Caesar.

Typing The Business Education Depart- ment maintained its high training standards this year not only by help- ing students to gain outside work ex- perience, but also by developing a more comprehensive in-school curri- culum. Next year the Department plans to open its typing course to all Red Bank High students, commercial and academic. Teachers in the Business Education Department believe that their stu- dents should have well-rounded courses. Students are encouraged to supplement their commercial train- ing by studying foreign languages, art and the sciences. The clicking of the machines fills the room as a typing class perfects its technique. 22
