Necessary to Win Heritage of Freedom In June 1960, we will become full-fledged citizens of our country. To get ready for this responsibility, our heritage of freedom, we concentrated during our senior year on the workings of our government. We were fortunate in having during our last year at McCloskey a gubernatorial election and the groundwork preceding a presidential elec- tion. We discussed more or less heatedly the good will tour of Kruchev and the insta- bility of Castro 's government. We debated the legality of the steel strike and expressed our views on building the projected Northway, In June we would attain to our heritage and our social studies classes helped us to be worthy of it.

ti mv Seniors Eye Job Qportunities and 1893--Charles Steinmetz was made consulting engineer of the General Electric Company in Schenectady. He published important papers about lighting and transient cur- IEIITS. .. , ali Many of us will leave the classroom in June to step into an office. With the many opportu- nities offered us in Albany, our work will be varied, but all positions will require secretarial skills and office procedures that must be learned in high school. Our office practice classes prepared us to take jobs in filing, typing, and general office work. The secretarial course gave us speed in taking shorthand and transcribing our notes. The first semester course of Office Manage- ment gave way to one in Salesmanship during the second half of the year. Bookkeeping and Business Law rounded out a full program in business knowledge.
