Vocational Home Economics With the increased stress placed upon mathematics and science in this modern day and age, these curricula have been broadened. After completion of the required two years of science, biology and general science, a student may elect to further his knowledge in this field by studying chemistry, physics, and or electronics. General math, algebra, plane geometry, and trigonometry are offered by the Math Department. The opportunity to obtain a more varied and complete education is thus given to students who desire to keep pace with the latest developments in our ever-changing world.

Industrial Arts Latin, French, and Spanish are the foreign languages which are offered as part of the curriculum at West Allegheny. The study of language aims to acquaint students with a knowledge of an additional vocabulary and the roots which are of constant use in science and in any learned discussion. Also, an introduction to the beauties of style and nobility, which are basic to the understanding of various literary types, in addition to philosophic and religious thoughts, is attempted. As the world is growing smaller every day, the student who has participated in this department is better able to communicate with his neighbors around the globe.

Algebra I and II, General Math The ultimate goal of the Social Studies Department at West Allegheny is the encouragement of good citizenship, which can only be obtained through a knowledge and understanding of the history and ideals of preceding generations, their accomplishments and their failures. With this in mind, the history of Pennsylvania and the framework of government are presented to freshmen, and the world's story is taught to sophomores. During the junior year America’s past is related, and the senior year is spent in the study of the problems of a democracy. With this background a graduate should be able to successfully take his place as a member of the society of the world. HARRY E.
