Puzzled Leroy Novotny tries to decide if he should start over or keep right on going after making a mistake. Janice Paseka erases violently, trying to correct an error she has made in her bookkeeping class. Executives Rectify Boners To be the fastest typist and the most ac- curate accountant were the main objectives of the young executives in the business depart- ment this year. Guiding the typists was Mr. Jerry Likes, executive-in-chief, who also taught the short- hand division. Typing a term paper was one of the more difficult assignments. Mr. Wayne Reeves, acting as chairman of the board, directed the accountants. Business math students undertook an unusual simulation project. They bought shares of stock and kept track of the prices for three weeks, making a graph of the fluctuating prices. 23 Mr. Likes and Mr. Reeves exchange notes on business techniques.

Number Thirteen Lucky For Artists The vibrations from the Neumann art department reached a high pitch when the Wahoo Women’s Club awarded it thirteen art ribbons, with one purple ribbon presented to Sheri Peterson. Dif- ferent processes were used, such as decoupage, woodcut printing, scratch board, and silk screening to show artis- tic skills. The art students showed themselves Christian as well as artistic by donating their abilities to the silkscreening of posters for both class plays and con- verting wooden cable spools into cush- ioned seats for the chapel. The art class also took seven tours to local galleries such as Sheldon, Joselyn, and Creighton art museums. Art student Harold Ruzicka climbs to the height of a tree to take this artistic pose of the rest of the art class. 22

Linguists Clown Around French students Carol Janecek and Marlene Kouma celebrate Mardi Gras with their own costumes. “It's a home run for the champions and another point goes on the scoreboard!” Con- trary to popular belief, base- ball was played not only on Neumann’s field, but also in Sister Patricia Stoeckinger’s French class. Sister coached her students’ vocabulary in this unique way to increase their interest in learning. The class was also busy learning grammar and sentence struc- ture and French Culture. Students enrolled in Latin also received their share of foreign language study. Father John Zastrow divided his stu- dents into groups of six so that they could work on a more per- sonal level. While teaching them Latin, Father managed to liven the class with stories of his war experiences and of early seminary days. 24 The blackboard is an asset to Sister Patricia, who always has a new French word to write. Rudy Fiedler. Norman Voboril, John Storm, and Steve Janecek play scrabble with French vocabulary. Father Zastrow waits patiently tor an answer that the rest of the class knows.
