Business produces new class ln the business department, Mrs. Vir- ginia Karloff said that General Business Core is the newest class offered this year. Also a new teacher has been added, Mr. Roy Beikman, who teaches accounting and beg. typing. When Mrs. Karloff was asked what was different about the department this year in comparison to last year, she said, During second semester we are instituting a new class called General Business Core. Students may take either record keeping or business math - instruction is highly individualized. The department acquired a new mimeograph machine, and the room is being rewired to improve the safety of the room and to allow more equipment to be added. Mrs. Karloff said that the department is a great contribution to the school. They do all the mimeo- graphing, school catalog, registration material, student handbook, attend- ance slips, and corridor passes. To end up the interview Mrs. Karloff said that, As the enrollment increases we would like to add more courses, i.e., data processing, and insurance.

Speec peps up English Do you prefer working alone, or would you rather work with someone? and Will you work any shift on short notice? were two of the most popular questions asked in a iob interview simu- lation conducted in Mrs. Edye Ruoho's Beginning Speech courses. The mock interviews were given for the purpose of preconditioning students to the situations they might encounter when making an actual iob application. Evaluations were based on factors such as dress, conduct, the amount of information a student had on the job he or she had chosen, and their applica- tions. Students were also iudged on their confidence in speech, the quality of their handshake, and their various replies to the questions asked by the interviewer. Mr. Joseph Landavazo, administra- tive assistant, played the role of the interviewer. He talked with each appli- cant, and recorded notes afterward. The notations were used in scoring, and also served as constructive criticisms by bringing to light things that could cost you a iob in a real interview. Mr. Landavazo conducted a post- interview question and answer session to learn the feelings and find out what made the biggest impression on each student about the interview. TOP RIGHT - Frosh.

With the reorganization of the shop, Basic Auto gets time in the shop for practical work. When asked what contribution the department makes to our school, we got the following responses: Mr. Gla- zier - We teach vocational skills and many students use the skills learned to make a living. Mr. McCalister -- The department provides practical knowl- edge for students to repair their own vehicles and also provides an outlook on an automotive-mechanic career. Mr. Glenn McMinn - lt's an opportunity for a student to work with his hands and his mind instead of iust sitting behind a desk. He can actually see what's happening and there's a possibility of future employment. TOP RIGHT - Juniors Skeeter Harrison and Tina Trotter show visiting Junior High students the shop equipment.
