With his help, students exper- ienced everything from animal care to truck driving to banking. Ms. Karen Venaas and Mr. Leo Fracalosy were the directors of the successful Work Ex- perience Program. The program had variable credits for students working at a part time job, anything from Der Wienerschnitzel to Foxmoor's. You gotta have art had always been the saying at Villa Park as displayed on the ar- troom wall and the Art department tried to supply as much as they could, A selection of several creative courses such as ceramics, crafts, photo, drawing, jew- elry and commerical art gave students a chance to express themselves. The teachers of these areas were creative and had fresh ideas to help each student develop his or her own talents. Business courses at Villa Park prepared students for many part time office jobs. Areas that could be accomplished were Steno, Office Occupa- tions, Typing, Business Law and Accounting. Many pencils were broken in desperation, bal- ances wouldn't balance, and typewriters broke down, but students survived to exper- ience it all again in the real business world. lll' Faculty: Art, Business Etc 19

Foreign Language department provided a vacationing spot for interested tourists. The de- partment traveled in different coun- tries through speech. Latin, French, German, and Spanish were all taught with a touch of foreign flavor. Teachers Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Jester, Mrs. Pope, Mrs. Fallis, and Mrs. Parslow each took their students into the foreign culture of each course. Students tasted the cuisine, sang the beerhall songs, danced the traditional dances, and explored the land through books and films. Home Economics wasn't just for girls. The selection of courses includes those that are co-ed such as Foods, Contemporary Fam- ily Living, Child Care, Interior Decorating, and others. Great chefs developed their potentials in foods classes, learning how not to burn their favorite cookies, or that it does take soap to wash dishes. Sewers learned the has- sles of constantly ripping out seams until they finally sewed the item right sides together. The relatively new class of Child Care allowed students to experience first hand the joys of bringing up and entertaining more kids ily-iii s'wl,' iw-evv what to do with, Kids were often lost-and F I l lime they were supposed to go home.
