N-...X . The world around us ... American history and govern- ment. These were two classes that students had to look forward to in their junior and senior year. Juniors and seniors were both confronted with these courses in order to gra- duate. Combining past and present events, history students learned to understand our country in times of war and peace, good and bad. Besides studying history, juniors traveled to the Model United Na- tions in November at Emporia. Twelve students attended the Model UN. Students chose individual coun- tries and then were assigned to re- present these countries as dele- gates. Taking notes, reading current event articles, and attempting to pass the tests were a few of the many tasks seniors had to under- take in government. As a hobby, Mr. Bob Williams occasionally photo- graphed students during class. Lat- er, students were surprised at see- ing their pictures being passed around the room. Government students learned how to make the thoughtful deci- sions in elections. They also learned important aspects of the Constitu- tion and taxing laws. Watching films and taking tests were commonplace in the psycholo- gy and sociology classes. Mr. Arthur Rose also spent many long hours lecturing to the students. Students in psychology studied the human mind and why people are the way they are. Psychology stu- dents also learned about their feel- ings and how to react to different situations. Through films and lectures we learned about the integral relation- ships between people and how they react in their society, explained senior Chris Stewart. 1 1!

Planning for the future Girls filed into the classroom, took out notebooks and pens, and start- ed taking dictation, sometimes starting with Dear Sir .. From the everyday banging of typewriter keys to letters being tran- scribed in shorthand, business courses emphasized learning good business skills. These skills were pre- paratory work for a career in later life. Twenty-two girls attended the an- nual office education contest in March. Five students won individual honors in the competition. They were: Janis Panizzi, first place in telephone techniques, Jill Beck, sec- ond place in office services clerk and sixth in extemporaneous speaking, Sharon Elkins, fourth in extempora- neous speaking, Pam Ervin, sixth in job manual, LuAnn Gourley, fifth in shorthand. In bookkeeping and recordkeep- ing, students learned to make family budgets, write checks, and keep budgets of expenditures. Students also learned how to take inventory and how to do tax deductions. The business classes offered were helpful and also educational, said junior Dorothy Schofield. 1 1!

lVlusic, more than concerts Many people believe that giving concerts is the only thing that music students do. Although there are con- certs, much time is spent practicing and going over and over the music to be performed, they also spend time drilling. As well as performance oriented courses there are three non-performing classes: beginning chorus, choral techniques, and in- strumental techniques and music lab. In beginning chorus, students learned to read music, play the pi- ano and sing. Most of these students were underclassmen who were then transfered into choir. Students enrolled in choral tech- niques learned to conduct. They served as student directors and taught carols to ensembles who per- formed at the Christmas concert. Instrumental techniques and mu- sic lab class, helped band stu- dents to learn a new instrument, an- dfor to let students work on devel- oping their skills on a particular in- strument. 2 1! Choral techniques student, Garry Pierce, senior, practices di- 1 3 recting a small ensemble, a re- 4 5 quirement of that course, 21 As president of band, Jay Slater, sen- ior, takes over the class. 3! Band director, Mr. Edmer Cornelson, utilizes his musical abil- ity by playing with the band. l-le can often be seen accompanying different numbers onthe trumpet, trombone, or guitar. 4!
