Stuck again! And it always has to happen while I'm taking a speed test! This is the disgusted cry which can be heard by many typing students dur- ing class. lt seems that whenever a person is taking a speed test or hurry- ing to get an assignment done before the dismissal bell rings, the keys al- ways stick. Here, Sue O'Malley has experienced this situation, and Mr. Rowe is showing her how to avoid it. Even though typing class is very annoy- ing at times, it is very worthwhile to take it. Typing can be extremely help- ful in other classes. If students type notebooks or assignments, their work appears neater, and by doing this, they often acquire better grades. if -- Q 1. ,. 'C Assets and liabilities, debits and cre- dits, and many of the other funda- mental business terms are discussed in bookkeeping classes. Here, Judy Pinkerton explains what she has learn- ed to the class. Workbooks that con- tain actual blank pages of a book- keeper's iournal are used in this course in order that the student may put his knowledge directly to use and, there- by, gain much valuable experience. Applicants for jobs in business find that a background in bookkeeping aids them when seeking employment. Also, those students planning to enter col- lege for a career such as accounting find that the direct instruction taken here is of much help.

Fred Kahn seems to be having a little trouble with his trigonometry. Phil Mar- tin is pointing out to Fred something about his equation concerning sines and cosines. Functions of angles having the some terminal side, proving identities, and many other trigonometric expres- sions may be Greek to some of us, but certainly not to tleft to right? Judy Hurley, Brenda Rousk, and Bob Jones. Trig is used in many occupations, in- cluding mechanics, navigation, and surveying. It is also taken for the prac- tice of thinking soundly.

It seems that their assignments are some- times rather difficult, but after a little thought, and many times with the help of Miss Pfaffman, the problems seem to be much easier to solve. What is the purpose of taking advanced math? This is what many of us wonder when de- ciding what subiects to take next se- mester. Making a person think and reason systematically is one good rea- son. Also, in later years it will help us work out numerous problems con- cerning math which will confront us daily.

, .J lllli .gin--1 .2 .4 il- What is this? Boys in a home economics class? Yes, they are Bob Barnhart and Emil Barcevic. Of course the girls, Sharon Edstrom and Mary Ann Haringer are right at home. These boys are not the first to elect such a course to their schedule of classes, many have gone before them. They usually are able to hold their own against the girls in the class, and the results of thei' efforts are often surprising! Because a good home is the basis for a good life, courses in home economics are important to us. Through these classes and laboratory periods girls and boys alike le-:rn the fundzrnentzls of a successful home. Besides learning to cook various foods, stud- ents learn the importance of vitamin and color coordination in meal planning, How to control a stubbord child is a problem that is often discussed. Here again, Central guides our steps to a sound home life for our future families. The practical experience gained in courses such as this is an invaluable aid to the homemakers of tomorrow.
