B. Ed. Students Learn Practical Skills Preparing for the world of work, Business Education students pursue prescribed courses designed to develop their clerical skills. Students enrolled in Vocational Office Education work on a part-time basis in local business establishments. Other students frequently assist teachers with typing and other clerical assignments. Business students participate in the activities of related organizations such as the FBLA and the Hospitality Clubs. Both groups encourage personal growth and impress upon students the importance of pleasing personalities in business transactions. MR.

MRS. DOROTHY FAYSON B.S., Home Economics MRS. MATTIE O. REED B.S., Home Economics Department Chairman MISS EDWINA SCAVELLA B.S., Home Economics Making their own garments is a must for homemaking students. Not only do they make clothing from prepared patterns, they also design and draft their own. During holiday seasons students treat their teachers and classmates to festive luncheons which they themselves cater. Instruction in nutrition, child-care and home decorating enhance their classes. Bass Art Museum, Lowe Art Gallery, Vizcaya, the Museum of Modem Art provided rich experiences for budding artists. Their participation in a University of Miami experiment designed to prove that the entire community is one hugh classroom enabled art students not only to visit local art centers but also to attend art classes at other schools and to display some of their own creations. Music students, too, were involved in field trips which included for the band a number of major county parades. The annual Orange Bowl Pageant, Surfside-Canada 32, Home And Fine Arts Week, Charles Drew Day, Orange Blossom Classic, City of Miami Clean-up Week and community activities permitted the Marching 100, as the band is called, to prove that it is truly the marchingest band in Dade County. No less active than the band is the chorus whose musical prowess won it acclamation in both state and county music festivals. It also cut and sold a record entitled A New Sound in Music. Negro history in song was presented by the chorus in an exciting rendition during Brotherhood Week. The supreme accomplishment of the chorus was the presentation of Gilbert and Sul1ivan's delightful MIKADO. The generally colorful foreign language classes reflected an unusual drop in enrollment. Experiences in foreign culture were limited to the classrooms where students vicariously shared the life of others via films and tapes. A Spanish fiesta complete with the traditional pinata delighted students at Christmas.
