D.E. Does It Right! Distributive Education I students concentrated on learning marketing procedures of various types of businesses, and received backgrounds in self-analysis and personal income. Students of D.E. II and III were given the opportunity to enter into a world of new experiences by working outside of school. They received one credit for their class work and one credit for working on the job. The jobs for D.E. students were arranged through a cooperative working program between the school and distributive businesses of the community. Through this program students were placed in retail, wholesale, and service businesses in areas of the Roanoke Valley ranging from Tanglewood Mall and West Salem Square to downtown Roanoke. 1.

Getting Down To Business Whose business is it? Anyone who took a business course found the answer to this question. At any given time during the school day, students could be seen busily striking at keys on typewriters. As usual, typing was the most popular business course offered. Other courses included shorthand and office practice. Keypunch was not offered due to a lack of teachers. During the school day, other students worked in part- time jobs in secretarial areas both in public offices and our own Administration office. 1. During their gain time students are found catching up on extra work. 2. Typing students practice carefully and try to adhere to the rules posted on the bulletin board. 3. Casey Ramos quickly finishes a sentence. 4. Engrossed in their work, typing students are unaware of the photographer. 72

Blue, Green, And White OR Maroon And Silver?? Many different courses were offered by the art department such as Introduction to Art, Beginning and Advanced Painting, Commercial Art I, and Design. Students could be seen throughout the year drawing the halls of Andrew Lewis in order to learn the rules of perspective. Other art students could be seen rubbing various textures around the school with paper and crayons in order to create rubbing designs. The art department helped to prepare for the change to the new Salem High School by making posters displaying the six choices of colors for the new school. The students of Andrew Lewis, Glenvar, and Hidden Valley referred to the posters when voting on the colors. Three choices were eliminated in two preliminary rounds of voting, and maroon and silver were chosen in the final round as the colors of the new school. 1.
