Most students at EPHS take a typing course before graduating. Barbara Parker uses one of the electric typwriters to complete her assignment. Figuring income tax was one of the many aspects of bookkeeping, a class of practical training that will prove useful later. Busy Fingers, Minds Learn Business Skills In preparation for the future, business students learned different skills and techniques. Satisfaction of getting just one more word and one less mistake on timed exercises was a daily goal of typing students. Shorthand used to take notes in other classes sometimes took beginning students longer than longhand but meant experience. Working in the main office, for guidance counselor Mr. Pat Flynn or for teachers gave some office practice class members practical experience. Mrs. Alice Vidmar watches as her typists hammer away to the rhythm of a record. Music is used to help keep a steady pace of typing. Girls in shorthand learn skills that will help them take speedy notes in college or land a secretarial job after graduation. 24 Altick Stationery Herzog'j Gift Corral B D Texaco Holiday Motel

Mr. Charles Brown is often found lounging around his favorite spots in the room. During government he rests on top of a desk to provide a more relaxed atmosphere. Social studies instructor Miss Sharane Brockmeyer discusses a problem with Miss Von Esther Peterson, home economics teacher. Among Miss Brockmeyer's interests are junior high classes and world geography. Although a teacher's main duty is to help students learn, many also bring their personal problems to the EPHS staff. Bill Hite and Mr. Brown chat in their free time. Students and teachers enjoy the interchange of ideas, especially those of current events. Current Events Reviewed New concepts, different teaching methods and a greater emphasis on current events challenged social studies students. A fuller sense of responsibility was gained by seniors as they chose individually what part of the book to study and reported on different news areas. Lively discussions in government and American history classes were led by Mr. Charles Brown and in junior high social studies by Miss Sharane Brockmeyer. Student teacher Mr. Larry Riley assisted both instructors. Junior high students shown, above, are required to take U.S. history and Colorado state history to further their knowledge of their surroundings.
