Diane Slaughter looks confident while Jim Matulka laughs in utter amazement as Mr. Wayne Reeves ex- plains the use of the complicated 1040 supplementary tax form. The business math class spent a portion of the second semester studying tax forms, learning how to fill them out. 17 The second semester typing class discovered the practical application to their hours of learning the keyboard as they found themselves typing manuscripts and booklets. Typing was an extremely popular subject this year. Consequently, many students were compelled to come in on free time to complete the assignments.

Business Courses Captivate Students As a change of pace, Mr. Gerald Likes plays a dictation record for his senior shorthand class. He also teaches the skill of typing to the upperclassmen. The mod system enabled each student to take a larger number of the practical courses offered by the business department. The courses, ranging from shorthand and typing to business math and bookkeeping, helped students to broaden their business skills, thus better equipping them to step out into the business world. Naturally, the goals of this department could only be reached through the determina- tion and persistence of its instructors. Three such devoted teachers are Mr. Gerald Likes and Sister Dolorosa with occasional help from Mr. Reeves. Mr. Likes in his usual manner dominated his feminine shorthand class while Sr. Dolorosa managed to impress the princi- ples of accounting on her junior and senior students. 16 Sr, Dolorosa, a newcomer to the faculty, explains the prin- ciples of business to her bookkeeping class. As junior class sponsor, she also has charge of the prom.

Scientists Accept Startling Innovations Neumann students found science exciting and challenging this year as several new teaching techniques were utilized. Students in chemistry and physics were taught the use of outside reference sources and individual pack- ets while the physical science students found themselves learning a variety of basic science courses. This program, developed by Sr. Sally Ann and Mike Eger, approached the under- standing of scientific concepts through exper- imentation. Biological interest was aroused by dissec- tion and outside field studies. Many of the sci- ence students also made trips to Midlands Science Fair and Engineering Week at Nebraska University. Sister Sally Ann beams as she arranges things in her long awaited cupboards. Along with the science depart- ment, she also sponsors the senior class. Physical science and biology teacher.
