HOME ECONOMICS Miss Marguerite Knight Mrs. Virginia Burke Mr. Joseph Chicetti Head of Department Mr. Lawrence Rettman The Home Economics Department, under the super- vision of Miss Knight and Mrs. Burke is always bustling enthusiastically. Here, the girls are given a chance to express themselves through the culinary arts by supply- ing the teachers with delectabia cookies and other baked goodies. Our seamstresses are never out of work with their newly established Alteration Shop. industrial Arts activities are primarily exploratory in nature until the student acquires more specialized training in industrial vocational education. The objectives are centered around the areas of production, consumption, and recreation; and the students are given contact with a wide range of industrial processes, materials, and equipment. The basic areas of work in the program are: woodworking, metal-working, electricity, electronics, crafts, and, in the field of graphic science, machine and technical drawing, architectural drafting, and descriptive geometry.

LAMGUAGES WHERE IN THE WORLD? In the modern world the role of the Language Department is becoming increasingly important. The study of foreign lan- guages and customs not only helps us understand other cultures, but also gives us a better perspective of our own. The Language Department offers excellent instruction in French, Spanish and Latin. It also arranges many field trips, from the viewing of foreign films to tours of European countries, and sponsors the French and Spanish Clubs.
