BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT he Business Education Department, under Mr. Jamison and Mrs. Finnegan, offers students courses in typing, shorthand, book- keeping and business arithmetic. Typing be- comes especially enioyable as students click their keys to the accompaniment of recorded marches. Although the other courses cannot claim musical backgrounds, students still find them great assets in the business world as well as in private life. BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Mrs. Gloria R. Finnegan, Mr. John N. Jamison, Hud of Department. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT ith the addition of three new math teachers to its already competent staff the Mathematics Department got off to a fine start this year, To the usual curriculum of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, a new Geometry Honors course has been added. This class which is still in an experimental stage is open to those tenth graders who tend to grasp the material more quickly than others. lt enables them to cover the usual math courses in half the normally re quired time, thus leaving one year free to study advanced college work. Since all Scarsdale High School students have had at least a taste of mathematics, and many have pursued all the courses offered, the Mathematics Department assumes an added importance, I 1 mxmxxx a MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Seated: Mr, Albert Pratt, Miss Garnet Almes, Miss Louise Mayer.

MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT T3 ith two-thirds of the student body taking part in the modern language program of French, Spanish and German, it is easy to see that the de- partment is an active and important one. The eight faculty members of the French Department have been doing such interesting things as writing and editing their own text books, making study tours in Eastern Europe, not to mention torturing the advanced French 4 class with a book a week Qin French D. With but two facul- ty members, the Spanish Department is no less active. Enthusiastic senors and senoritas agree that 45 minutes in either classroom is iust like 45 minutes south of the border. The German Department, although the smallest in the school, still inspires eager students to learn of the glory of Deutschland and to rattle off those infernal verbs. LATIN DEPARTMENT Miss Louise Koegel, Mrs. Emily McDonald, Mr, Lyford r P.
