Culture to BC Curriculum Oil painting, pastels, egg temporas, wall hangings--all these are but a few of the many colorful and fascinating pro- jects done by Art III students. Out of the entire school year, approximately one-third of the time is spent in the tedious work of oil paintings, and each student is required to complete at least five different types of paintings. Two new ideas were added to the curriculum this year. Time was required for wall hangings, and new techniques were introduced with egg-temp- oras. Another department con- tributing to the cultural en- lightment of its students is the Homemaking department. Homemaking I, II, III, and Family Living are offered to BCHS students.

Six different types of machines combined with data processing comprise the main curricu- lum of Business Machines. Bookkeeping prepares students to go into a bookkeeping profession or accounting. Basic skills are learned in Typing I and Shorthand I, and these skills are expanded in the second year courses offered. Training in office procedures is taught in Clerical Practice. When a student has taken a combination of these courses, he is generally prepared for a job in the growing business world.
