Art Draws Where did Michelangelo get his start? Or Leonardo de Vinci? Well, maybe not at Blair, but many other young artists started developing their talents here. Dur- ing all periods ofthe day, students could be found creating mini- masterpieces with pen and ink, paint and brush, and pencil. But these masterpieces usually didn't come about easilyg only after repeated and frequently un- successful attempts were the final results accepted by the artist. Other masterpieces were made by the students in jewelry, sign paint- ing, and pottery classes. Mr. Garden S Mr. Melie Mrs. Morris Miss Vitz

IUPIQ QZ ITQQXFIF Helping Hands Providing aid to students and faculty was the primary respon- sibility of the secretarial staff at Blair. When confronted with stu- dent and staff problems, the secretaries could be depended upon to supply the needed infor- mation. On the other hand, the librarians distributed textbooks, filed numerous book cards, kept hundreds of books in order to find references for students who needed help. ln addition to this helpfulness, the nurse was always ready, willing, and able to aid troubled students in need. Having the ability and know how, the secretaries, librarians, and nurse, rendered a great deal of assistance and proved to be very valuable to Blair.

BLUIWVEII V Skills Gained A special function of the Business Department is that it teaches knowledge and saleable skills that enable its students to be employed immediately upon graduation. These skills, which include typing, shorthand, man- ipulation of business machines, and fundamentals of accounting, will also enable the students to pursue advanced business education. The instructors in this depart- ment are especially proud of their course in Consumer Education. It contains a body of knowledge intended to create wise consumers.
