The future draftsmen and archi- tects in Mr. Goodall's Mechanical Drawing classes took a trip this year to the Champlain Company in Roseland where they saw machines, blueprints and various aspects of a company in action, in conjunction with their studies. In Mechanical Drawing I the Knights were given a chance for a conceptualization of graphic pro- jection and an understanding of the various tools at their disposal. Mechanical Drawing II students de- signed machines, homes and ma- chines which design machines! Mechanical Drawing III works on an advanced level on problems involving descriptive geometry, ad- vanced machine drawing and tech- nical problems. In this course more emphasis is placed on individual study. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Designers of the future. 17

HOME ECONOMICS Future homemakers of America Mrs. Harriet Kean The Home Economics rooms of West Essex High School saw a new teacher walk through the door this year. She is Miss Irene Keppel, the Junior Division Home Economics teacher. Under her guidance, the Junior Division girls planned meals, and made skirts, blouses, and jumpers for themselves. The girls in Senior Division Home Economics cooked meals for themselves, tried new recipes, learned about different cuts of meat, and also made some of their own clothes. Mrs. Gloria Everett left West Essex High School at the end of the first semester to practice homemaking in her soon-to-be-enlarged new home. At this time Mrs. Harriet Kean came into West Essex for the remainder of the year.

JUNIOR AND SENIOR DIVISION ENGLISH In the English classes of West Essex a deeper apprecia- tion and a clearer understanding of the language is sought through combinations of prose, poetry and song. Starting with basic grammar and following it through in speech and literature is the basic task of the English Department. All types of literature are discussed throughout the year at West Essex — from Katherine Forbe's Johnny Tremain to Henry David Thoreau's Walden Pond. All Knights are given opportunities for an expression of opinions through short stories, poetry, critical analyses and open classroom discussions under no pressures except personal ones. All students throughout the years are exposed to every possible form of literature available to West Essex.
