'Maybe you'd do better with your glasses on, Jeff. Jeff Weed, Mr. Checchio, We Are the Music Makers! It is important for every person to have an outlet to utilize his skills. Music is one of the ways which such a fulfillment can be accomplished. Many students used the 1970-7'l Music Department as a channel for sharpening their musical experiences. Supervised by Mr. Joseph Checchio, the Music Department made several additions to its curriculum. Students were offered Music Theory II and Music History-Literature courses. Added to the usual concert programs were a winter Band Concert, and a student recital evening featuring soloists and small ensembles. The Department was divided into three types of musical presentations - Choral, Orchestra, and Band. Each division proved effective in presenting respective audiences with entertaining programs throughout the school year. JOSEPH CHECCHIO .

More up-to-date equipment in the metal, wood and auto shops enabled the staff to better prepare its students in the latest industrial technologies. General Shop, a co-ed course, offered a variety of skills in metal, wood and auto shop, electronics and fiberglassing. The department may well boast of its course in fiberglassing as it was rare that this course be offered on the high school level. Mechanical Drawing was moved from upstairs to its new location near the shops. The double room space proved more conducive to learning as students approached the subiect in more depth. Once again the Co-Operative Work Program enabled students to attend school in the mornings and put their skills to practical use in iobs in the afternoons. This program also gave participants a good head start at earning a living. Preparing students for work, vocational school or college was the goal of the Industrial Arts Department. Enthusiasm and improved facilities helped it more successfully fulfill that goal.

'H' The hope of this year's Art Department was to encourage students to creatively express them- selves while they attained a greater appreciation for the arts. Students who wished a basic introduction selected Arts and Crafts, while those wishing to explore the subject in depth continued with weaving, ceramics, sculpture or life drawing. A new course offered this year, Philosophy's Art, evaluated the significance of past artists and their relevancy to the art world today. The department would like to expand and add to the specialization courses offered for the next year's curriculum. ' PAUL ROBESON l just painted both hands. Gwen Harper. VIRGINIA PASTERNAK
