E. u6ineS6 This year OCC launched the new Business Education Building. Equipped with the best available facilities, a new building and an excellent staff of execs, the future business leaders in the world of modern commerce sailed into their duties and completed courses in navigation. Our seaworthy instructors in the highly compliant classes such as essential business skills and industrial organization and management corrected our errors in navi- gation and assigned communications duties. With close inspection they checked the compass and swung the wheel when pupils got a little off course. In wind, currents, or strong tides, Mr. Holey, Miss Raef, Mr. Boyce, Mr. Blakley and Mrs. Dallas guided the crew to the opposite shores of achievement. MR. HALEY MISS RAEF MR. BOYCE MRS. DALLAS MR. BLAKLEY

cJ a unauacie an lauaa d gJLIu h ercLiure MR. PATTERSON From Ruchleau to Friedrich der Grosse and Frelawney to Shakespeare — the Language and Literature Department kept us informed of the beauty of words and opened a new world of aesthetics for us. The hterature classes under Mr. Vernon Patterson taught us an apprecia- tion of the fine literature in the world. Mr. Patterson often talked off the cuff to us to bring the authors and poets into a clearer focus. We saw them as real people with all their human fallacies and heroisms. Miss Mary McChesney and Miss Dowlen first taught us the mechanics of writing and then examples of what to enjoy in reading. For those of us who didn ' t care to delve further into English, Mr. Sleeper gave the cue on English fundamentals and launched each boat with proper care. Reading and writing the language didn ' t set all the limits. Mr. Kest trained the crew members to call their orders loud and clear as well. The Language Department with Mr. Shaver breaking the waves led the prospective linguists through some rough waters but brought all hands to calm shores again. Leading off in the mornings with French 1 and 11, he finished his day after German I, II, III, IV, French III, IV, and Spanish III and IV. His co-captain(ess?) Miss McChesney also held sway with Spanish I, II. In addition to teaching the actual grammar and vocabulary, they also gave the hands highlights in the various historical political trends, as well as first hand information on the extensive conditions in the specific countries. From personal experiences and photographs, the students gained an under- standing of the people as well as the language. MISS DOWLEN MR. SHAVER MISS McCHESNEY MR. SLEEPER
