Ray Bradish Mary Lou Evola Homer Foster Robert Haunfelner Helen Herlehy Joseph Hickey Business Education Under the direction of Mr. Joseph Hickey, our Business Education program introduced three new courses this year: Distributive Education II, Rec- ord keeping, and Computor Appreciation. A new method-course taught by Mr. Bradish is programmed instruction which gives the student practice in applying what he learns in class. Thc course encourages part-time work and gives the student a graduating credit in association with the actual course. Computor Appreciation, taught by Mr. Hickey is now a two-year course preparing the student for work in the computer field. All other business courses are, of course, still taught and are very essential in preparing the stu- dent for the business world.

Marion Graves Horizons In Homemaking Joan Joslyn Ruth Simms The aroma of pies, cakes, and cookies on the third floor of the new building makes every student conscious of his stomach and the homemaking depart- ment. In cooking classes, students are in- structed in the preparation of a meal from nutritional requirement to attractive table settings. In addition to cooking classes, the Home Economic Department offers courses in sewing, gracious living, interior decoration, costume design, home nursing, child care, and personal and family prob- lems. There is also a general homemaking class for boys. R.F.A.’s homemaking department rec- ognizes the need for a solid basis for fu- ture homelife and strives to fulfill this need.
