Country and the Rest of the World Gary Jaeger, Larry Diersing, and Jim Dean are standing around Becky Kapust who is showing them that Sociology can be fun if you look for the right materials in the right places. Mike Mahnensmith, Diane Harrison, Cay Correll, and Amelia Hesterburg look on while Fred Cook points to Africa which is one of the trouble spots of the world today. One of the Senior classes seems to enjoy Mr. Sharp ' s interesting lecture on the various phases of our United States Government, a required course for twelfth graders.

And Typed. We Learned About Our Dianne Souther, Dana Wehmeier, Sandy Cummings, and Lois Fenstermaker are busily taking dictation from their instructor, Mrs. Hill. Frances Childers, Bob Donewald, and Carole Doty are carefully completing bookkeeping assignments. Joan Carlton, carefully keep Frances Childers, and Vicki Emmons track of their asdf ' s in typing class. The Business Department offers courses which may serve as a basis for after -graduation office work or for further study in the field. The instructors in this depart- ment are Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Ackerson, Mrs. Lemme, and Mr. Huffer. Two years of typing are offered in the Business De- partment. The fundamentals of typing are taught during the first year. The advanced typing class works with business forms such as those used in actual offices. A personal typing course is offered to students who merely want to develop a typing skill for their own use. Shorthand courses are also available for two years. Shorthand forms are learned and accuracy is developed in the first year. In the advanced course typewritten tran- scripts are required daily to acquaint the students with office procedures. Speed and accuracy increase through- out the course. One year of bookkeeping is now offered in the Business Department. This is a general course in the fundamentals of bookkeeping which prepares the student for further study in the field. General Clerical consists of instruction in filing and the use of office machines. This course is offered after the advanced typing course to students seriously interested in entering office work.

We Gave Speeches . . . Drove . . . Janet Roblee gives dra- matic interpretation in one of the beginning speech classes. Eddie Hill, Carolyn Floyd, and Bill Waller participate in drama contest. The Carmel Speech Department is a popular one with students. The aims of the beginning speech classes are to help the students overcome their fears and embarrassment when they speak in front of the class. In these classes they learn to speak freely with poise and grace. They find that even after they have completed their speech course, they profit by their new speaking abilities. In their other classes they are able to speak confidently and without fear. Another point beginning speech students learn is that adequate preparation is vital for any oral class recitation. In advanced speech courses the stu- dents have an opportunity to develop further their speaking abilities by study- ing dramatics and forensics. It is easy to see why Mrs. Kesselem and Mrs. Ackerson, our speech teachers, play such an important part in a Carmel student ' s high school career. Mr. Huffer, who is Driver Education instructor, laughs at the puzzled looks of Dick Murphy, John Truesdel, Jeff Morton, and John Mohr when he realizes they don ' t know as much about a car motor as his girl students do. Carmel High School offers Driver ' s Training to all stu- dents. These girls are learning to handle a car carefully and safely.
