Business Department Offers New Program. A cooperative office education program was a new idea implemented in the Buisness De- partment. This project provided the students with on- the -job training. The students were given the oppertunity to work for an employer in the community, which helped in providing them with a job entry level skill. Another area worked with again this year was the distribu- tive education program, coordinated by Mr. Eric Hermann. The department worked in helping to pre- pare the students for various jobs in clerical, secretarial, accounting, sales, and marketing. Mr. Glen Tanner, Chairman, Dr. Don Moore, Mrs. Elaine Osborne, Mr. Paul Hansen, Miss Pat Callahan, Mr. Eric Hermann, and a new teacher, Mr. Paul Angelico, all contributed to making this a good year for the Buisness De- partment.

The new approach was consistant with the departments general philosophy as related by Mr. Frank Riddlemoser, Chairman, We try to get the students to learn many different languages, and try to encourage them to take these abilities out of the classroom.

Students Earn Letters In Music Department Music students at Coronado were presented the opportunity to earn letters as well as grades. This was one of the newest ideas used in the music department. Students earned points for the letter by participating in school music programs, help- ing in class projects and being in musical programs or groups outside of the school. The many music activities included several concerts given by the vocal and instrumental music classes. Students had to reach a certain number of points to be awarded a letter. Music theory was offered along with the other music classes to any interested students. The class included note reading and composition writing. All music students were graded ac- cording to participation and playing ability. Mr. John Buck taught the vocal aspects and Mr. Craig Harms was in charge of the instrumental programs.
