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.

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.

Art Department Begins Exciting New Program A revised Art program provided many different classes for students to choose from. Classes were set up in pairs, with a different type of class each semester. Photography, offered for the first time at Coronado, was very popular. Freehand drawing, jewelry, ceramics, ap- plied crafts, Commercial Art and Special Studies in Art were also offered. Students showed enthusiasm for the new program by a significant increase in enrollment. Classes were more in depth and specialized than in pre- vious years. The program stressed art as related to other school subjects and personal satisfaction in one's work. Mr. Robert Shernick and Mr. Skip Mundy worked as a team, pooling their skills and knowledge to teach the various courses. Dave Gillion developes skill at the potters wheel.
