Typing provides personal and vocational benefits Typing helps students personally in many ways, commented Mrs. Beverly Chovick, typ- ing teacher at San G. In school, typing improves the neatness of reports and essays. Most teachers are more favorably impressed with a typewritten paper than a handwritten paper. For students plan- ning on college, all research papers must be typed. If a student cannot type, they will have to pay to have someone who can type to type their paper. This can become quite expensive. For students who can type, this is a good way to earn extra money. Most every entry level job in the clerical- secretarial aspect of employment has a prere- quisite of the ability to type. In this computer age, keyboarding is the basic, fundamental skill needed to operate the computer efficiently and skillfully. In order to be able to get the most out of the computer time available, the operator should be skilled in keyboarding — speed and accuracy are both important. Typing might be considered a step- ping stone to bigger and better things in the business world. The first semester of typing, students learned the keyboard, developed speed, accuracy, and were shown the fundamentals of typing business letters and memorandums. The sec- ond semester of typing was a refinement of the skills learned during the first semester and gave the student a feeling of confidence in his her skill. To see a person advance from a novice to an accomplished typist is a thrill. Mrs. Chovick felt It ' s a joy to help someone acquire a skill that will be beneficial to him either personally or vocationally.

Students combine writing and drawing talents to create fine arts Life is a puzzle Like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle everyone fits in and although the part is sometimes small without it, the puzzle would not be complete. Sometimes the pieces match up but if they don ' t we try again in a different place, to see if it fits and when the puzzle is fit together it is a piece of an even larger puzzle a round puzzle, harder to solve than Rubik ' s cube because no one has the solution. The piece that makes this round puzzle complete is missing perhaps it will never be found the chances are decreasing. And to make the puzzle complete, all the pieces would have to fit then we would have no need to take it apart cause like a puzzle, you may lose a piece and may never find it again, making the puzzle incomplete. And when the puzzle is done, the pieces stare at the puzzle and their work and are impressed and you never want to take it apart again. Cause the pieces would be together where the manufacturer intended. Yes, the pieces would be together where they were put in the box to be and hopefully, the class of ' 83 will be this piece ' 83 — the class with class.
