Business Trains Students For Office Vocations Mr. Elroy Boss hart Mrs. Susan Bye Through the extensive use of electric equipment, business education students learned skills for future occupations or personal use. To develop finer tech- niques, students used equipment in the business resource rooms during their unscheduled mods. The open shorthand laboratory, equipped with twenty-eight stations, allowed each student to work at his own pace. To promote classroom interest. Miss Jane Zaker, a representa- tive from the Mary Lowe Charm School, spoke on good grooming. Also, a lecture on data transmission was delivered by Mr. John Case of the Northwestern Bell Company.

Drama Humanities Analyze Theater And Arts Mr. John Cunningham M r. John Norton Developing speech skills within the framework of one’s personality was the aim of the speech course. To acquire poise and speaking assurance, each stu- dent was involved in a speaking situa- tion every week. Drama attempted to give the students a background in all phases of the theater. Through a series of student-produced plays, students were able to apply their knowledge of acting, directing, technical know-how, and theater history. Grasping an under- standing of ancient and modern man was the goal of the humanities course. The works of such varied authors as Karl Marx, Aristotle, and Arthur Miller were the “textbooks” used to examine the complexities of mankind as term projects taxed students’ imaginations. 24
