Thus, an understanding of and an appreciation for the fine arts is essential to a well rounded education. The Fine Arts Department at St. Thomas Aquinas realizes this and strives to ex- pose the students to the various types of art. The Department also seeks to aid the students in developing their own cre- ative talents, either for their personal satisfaction or possibly for use in later life. 581495 , Gail Anne Kent Montclair St. College BA Activity Director Business Chairman Mr. Kronemeyer ,ff f z .fl K k '.tr L .gg . 4 A' f ,,tty trat ew P gv' RM- I xx 2 .

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.

BA Insight, Volleyball MS Frosh BB Mathematics SC Academic Advisor Business Mathematics, Science Naval Science at STA assists in the development of mature and responsible individuals by building confidence and leader- ship. 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.
