Grophics students copy for fun cincl profit by Clayton Lord The business and printing classes copied their way through another graphic year. Mr. Martin Grubb, with his photographic personality, stopped the development of negative ideas and obtained proof of success in his classes. These business and graphic arts classes used photographic, printing, and lithographic equipment to train in the study of offset lithography. Com- ing to BR in the Fall of 1-965, Mr. Grubb used direct approach teaching in the overcrowded three periods he had. At Blue Ridge the students like to learn and follow instructions, he said, which will help them have suc- cess on the job. The other business teacher was Ms. Patricia Sewell. She taught shorthand, business machines, office practice, along with Typing I and ll classes. Typewriters, adding machines, and other business machines were used in these classes to help the students experience an actual office job. She began teaching at Blue Ridge in Sep- tember of 1978, after completing school at ASU. As for her feelings toward BR, lt's a small school and most of the students are 'neat' kids. Ms. Margaret Godwin taught the home economics courses at BR. The courses consisted of needlecrafts, individual living, and home economics l and ll classes. Various sewing and cooking equipment was used in these classes which were to prepare stu- dents for home and family living. Emphasis was placed on giving per- sonal experience in the use of the equipment available. 1979 was Ms. Godwin's last year of teaching. She had been an instructor at BR since 1968. She liked the cli- mate and small town atmosphere around BR but said these things were disappearing too fast. T,,..?, 7 f N .t . 'ASQ' rv .eww , if ' ' FM? , , .
