FT i I FUTURE SECRETARIES, clerks and other business-minded students were those who took a commercial course during our four years at Bosse. During the first year, a general study of business showed us the necessity of neatness and accuracy. As sophomores we patiently added long columns of figures and checked accounts for bookkeeping., Keeping our attention directed elsewhere than the keys of our type- writers in typing clas was also a problem. The desired accuracy and speed on our ten minute tests at first seemed impossible, but improvement and typing ease soon came to us. As juniors we began four semesters ot shorthand which in the beginning was like a foreign language. Eventually shorthand graduated into tran- scription in our senior year. With the fourth year of high school, our curriculum varied and we could choose secretarial training, clerical practice or selling, according to the field which we planned to enter. Interviews with local businessmen were also cr part of the commercial training which gave us necessary experience for future occupations. BEST WISHES E ' 7 ' Ayokf 5 Alf .

OUR FUTURE auto mechanics, draftsmen, machinists, Woodworkers and printers learned many valuable things in the industrial arts department. The department was divided into four main classes, general shop, metal shop, mechanical drawing and print shop. In our freshman year, we took General Shop I and Il and worked with wood. Mechanical drawing was also offered to us as freshmen. WE COULD TAKE four semesters ol mechanical drawing. In these four terms, we worked on machine drafting from ani assigned book. li we de- sired we could ao on into the most advanced pnase of the flrawirg field, architectural drawing. The boys who wanted to be printers were offered a very thorough course in the printing classes. The first semester we learned to set type by hand. Later there were presses to run and the more advanced students set up pages for the SCHOOL SPIRIT. SETTING UP Tl-IE SPIRIT wasn't the only job ot the advanced printers. They also were given the job of printing the football and basketball pro- grams, tickets for the plays and talent shows and posters used around Bosse. Another shop that the school offered was work in metal, including auto mechanics, bench work, welding, forging and machine work. Some of the more industrious boys worked on their old jalopies during this period, a job which always seemed to require the services of the entire class. Two other shops, blue print reading and electricity, were also available to us. In blue print reading we learned the basic principles of how to read a construction man's guide, while in electricity we built radios, motors and other such complicated electrical devices. 'S .

lt's 'Spirit' That Counts WITH EDITOR Barbara Feigel as guardian angel, assisted by Maylene Odell, the Senior Edition presses began to roll and the paper hit the stands. In the advertisement department, Lottie Bel Musgrave was in charge, aided by Patty Hoople and Rita Leslie. This staff began its job in February by planning and selling ads. The regular editorial staff wrote the stories, the pages having been planned and stories assigned by Barbara. Following this was copyread- ing, proofreading and hard work. Moore Typesetting Company set the type with the Bosse print shop setting up the pages and Burkart-Walton and Company did the printing. Pictures were mounted by Evansville Photo Engravers. Senior Edition was a: big job, but it was fun too. There were those in- numerable trips to Moore's and the photo engravers only to discover that the proofs and pictures wanted weren't ready. Late stories and headlines were hectic too. So went the weeks preceding graduation, but when Iune rolled around, the Senior Edition appeared in print, a tribute to the Forty-niners. DEADLINE. copy, galley proof and newsbeats were everyday words in the vocabularies of some of our class, the members of the school newspaper staff. Every Friday sixth period, the fruit of the editorial staff's labor made its appearance in the form of THE SCHOOL SPIRIT. On its pages were recorded the events, big and small of our four years at Bosse. Leadership was furnished by Bob Wyttenbach, editor, Nancy Hawlick, managing editorg and Io Taylor, news editor during the first semes- ter. ln the second semester the duo team of co-editors, lo Taylor and Nancy Hawlick took over the job. Susie Wittgen and lim Friedman, managing and news editors respec- tively, were the others elected by the staff to supervise the Spirit Members of the editorial, business and print shop staffs who did su- perior Work were inducted into Ouill and Scroll Society, the international honorary society for high school journalists. This group was pre- sided over by Susie Wittgen the first semester, while Richard Fox led the society during the second. 3 BUSILY ENGAGED in a variety of activities, the all important Business and Publications staffs helped put out the regular SCHOOL SPIRIT and the Senior Edition. A Under the guiding hands of Betsy Whittinghill, ad estimates somehow reached the editorial staff every week. There were times though, when questions were asked as to whether the ads would fit the page or be ready on time, but they always came through. Page editors remember that there were usually more ads than they wanted on their pages, but we needed the Writing and Events and the tion Staff. This staff handbook money. . publishing various pamphlets such as the Calendar of Bosse B Book are some of the many jobs of the Publica- year a curriculum book and etoin shurdlu, an editorial written by Paul Adye, were published by the staff. In addition to their publications work and business management, the staffs were also in charge of distributing the Spirit to the students and subscribers. 8.
