fyour t — Sit up straight, don’t look at your keys, these are just a few things you hear in Keyboarding classes. Striving for perfection and doing your best is what Business Education teacher Merle Taylor expects. Syntax errors and out of data errors were unheard of a few years ago, but now are common occur-ances in Data Processing classes. “I really enjoy working with computers and love the challenge of working out the programs”, said Advanced Data Processing student Jon Lewis. Accounting class seems to be on a upswing also. “Most people in Accounting want to be there, so it is an enjoyable class to teach, time consuming for the student but rewarding when they finish their projects”, stated Taylor. Doing your best and striving for perfection will always make Taylor happy and satisfied.

— latent It’s not a junk yard but odds and ends that first-year art teacher Lisa Ashley uses as class projects. Ashley remarks that she was really impressed with the talent she found in Art III and IV when she came to Bement. Karen Wilkinson and Mark York keep their hectic schedules more hectic with practices galore. Wilkinson spends some of early morning hours practicing with the Show Choir — a group of dedicated youngsters. Four bands rolled into one provide Director Mark York with enough to keep his schedule from slowing down. If it is not marching, concert, or jazz, it’s pep! York applauded the quality of the high school’s performance as the students, too, maintain a heavy schedule. Upper Right: Vocal music is Karen Wilkinson’s specialty, but keyboards also let her talents shine. Middle Left: Freshman Jason Cripe practices his technique for that professional look. Middle Right: Lisa Ashley not only teaches all high school art classes but also fits the entire grade school in her busy week. Lower Left: Band Director Mark York appears a bit casual for one of the “peppy performance at a basketball game.
