Mrs. Glenda Corrigan Mr. Roger F euerbacher Mrs. Evelyn Dunnick Mr. Kenneth Freeman Courses in Business Education ranged from personal typing to courses in clerical practice and salesmanship Students planning for college as well as those heading for jobs after graduation found that notehand, bookkeeping, and other courses were helpful. Students wanting to specialize in this field partici- pated in either Cfiice Education or Distributive Educa- tion. Distributive Education was for those whose interest lie in sales-related jobs. Oflice Education students were those who were interested in ofiice-related jobs. Both programs worked in much the same way in that the stu- dents attended classes in the mornings and worked in Cedar Rapids firms in the afternoons. MRS. DUNNICK uses the overhead projector to illustrate a point to her notehand class. rf-L 23

Ari Esiciblishes 0 Creative Field for cill Students Kennedy's budding young artists, under the direc- tion of Robert Kidd, displayed and sold their own ce- ramic art pieces. Hence, appreciative students were offered original creations at student prices. Kennedy is one of the few schools that offered ad- vanced art students the chance to dabble in oils. Art stu-- dents also had the facilities for instruction in advanced use of art metals. Many materials to choose from made for a do your own thing type of atmosphere. Experimentation ranged from work with glass chips to wire sculpturing. Papier mache was also a favorite material used in art. Displays of the art work were arranged in the showcase near the cafeteria for all students to view. 73 Mr. Robert Kidd KATHY FLOYD uses creativity and imagination in art productions. E25
