BHS Students Provide Challenge For Mr. Robert Pearl, Art Dept. Students who go through our art department can expect to be well versed in the basic ' fundamentals of art, says Mr. Robert Pearl, head of the art de- partment. He believes that once these basics are learned, one ' s application of art will have no boun- daries. In referring to the expansion of the art pro- gram, Mr. Pearl says, ' We will be going into the area of commercial art, the ever so broad fields of design and illustration. I am really very excited about my new position here at the High School, states Mr. Pearl. My ex- perience at the Jr. high level was an excellent back- ground for my work here. Mr. Pearl finds the more mature High School student is equally, if not more, of a challenge to him. Mr. Pearl goes on to say, The field of art is as important as any other subject here, and of course, for many students the most important. Anyone can gain from the experience in an art class, if there is an interest in the subject. Even though you may not reap the full benefits of an art course at the present, because of your immediate requirements, you will have this experience in the future. It is the student ' s future in which Mr. Pearl says he and the other art teachers are interested. They feel the principles of art apply to every day life. Mr. Pearl says he feels the day will come when the pupil will be able to apply it even more directly for the sheer fun and relaxation.

Goal of Business Dept, to Give Students Understanding of Business World Mr.. John Day, Department Chairman of Business Education at Berke- ley High, last year taught one hundred and fifteen students, supervised the two hundred proctors and was also responsible for Business Educa- tion in. both Junior high schools and West Campus. His job includes budgeting supplies, preparing the curriculum in the Business Education courses, providing leadership for the teachers, and in general making it possible for the teachers to teach more effectively. Mr. Day finds out what should be taught and how it should be taught in his depart- ment. Business education courses at Berkeley High School attempt to give the student an understanding of the business world and economics. The courses teach the students a vocation. The Internal Work Experie nee Program gives experience to the two hundred participating students so they will be better prepared for work- ing. The students are allowed to proctor for only one period and they receive two and a half credits each semester. The proctors help teachers and administrators with their routine duties except for the teaching process. Carol Albright Eugene Brooks Anna-Noreen Christopher
