How easily could you research a paper without the organization of Sister Lucretia's domain-the school library?

Writing is particularly stressed by the de- partment at the junior and senior levels. Juniors who show promise in English can opt to take the Junior honors course and interested Seniors can take Advanced Placement Eng- lish.

The ability to run a thorough and efficient home or to take a piece of material and turn it into an attractive article of clothing is im- portant and useful to us. In the fast-paced and ever-changing world of the seventies, these skills have taken on an even greater significance. The Home Economics Department, as run by Mrs. Parker, teaches the students these and other skills helpful in running a household. Learning to handle oneself wisely in the con- fusing role of consumer is another important ability taught by this department in the Con- HGME ECGNOMICS sumer Education class. Bachelor Living is a .special course offered to provide senior boys with the chance to learn basic domestic skills which may come in handy in future years. . . xp.. , --Q. 5- aw QW as fi H 51 5' ng S 'lx s 'Q' Jim Hibbs Janice H.

Training is provided in many courses important to space age living, such as applied electronics and ocean- ography. This training enables NJROTC students entering military service to receive im- mediate promotion upon en- listment, and also makes them eligible for NROTC scholar- ships. The various exciting activities in which NJROTC students engage encourage the development of citizenship, leadership, and teamwork. But most importantly of all, Naval Science helps to make the cadets proud to be a part of our country. With NJROTC present in the curriculum, there is an increased awareness of patriotism, honor, and respect throughout the school. Gordon Inverno Jr. Sr. Joan Marie Bethel College BA Seton Hall U.
