Automation becomes part of COE classes The COE Officers. Kneeling: Dolores Gonzalez, Kim Hof- fman and Janet Myers. Standing: Lynn Gibson, Shannon Lewis, Lori Price, Laini Hassett and I ee Ann Donato. It was up early to make a “0” hour class for the girls in the Cooperative Office Edu- cation course. That was their COE class. Then more morning classes and off to work in offices throughout the Valley area in the afternoon. The course was no longer confined to typ- ing and shorthand as many would think. As automation has entered the business world, so it has necessarily entered the classes that teach people to function in that world. Even though typewriters were still in the class- room, they were much more complicated and automated than they were just a few years ago. Other office business machines had also become technological marvels. But it took more skill and training to use them. According to COE teacher Mrs. Marianne Mitchell, many of the girls were working with computers at their jobs. Cooperative Office Education.

Business Manager Kim Ordaz enjoys work- ing with the student council funds. Council relaxed but did job Recording Secretary Karlene Garrison is used to gettting caught up in paperwork. They were probably the most relaxed student council seen at Tempe High in many years. At least, they gave that appear- ance. Their pictures on this page attest to that! But, somehow, all of their pro- jects got done. Underneath the relaxed atmosphere was a hard- working crew that buckled down when required and accomplish- ed their tasks. Said Senior Class President Aileen Balizado, “They were very easy to work with. It was a very relaxed atmosphere but we al- ways seemed to find time to have fun. We enjoyed working togeth- er with them.” Corresponding Secretary Melody Kess- ler prepares a letter to another high school for a student exchange. 72 - Organizations

FBLA students get work in ‘real world’ On-the-job training was the major role of the Future Business Leaders of America. Stu- dents attended class part of the day and worked in community businesses the rest of the day. The goal was to develop leadership skills as well as to teach club members how to get along with fellow workers in the “real world.” According to club advisor Mrs. Kim Hilgers, “There were more COE students involved in the FBLA this year than ever before. That’s a good sign that we’re doing something the stu- dents think is helpful to them.” The FBLA Officers. Front row: Shannon Lewis, Renee Chandler and Tori Wenge.
