Another new car was presented to the school this year by George Haber- felde, a local Ford dealer, for use in the Driver Educa- tion classes. This brings the total up to three cars used by this class to which sophomore students only are admitted. It is taught in the history classes by Mr. Beck, Mr. Yarbrough, Mr. Stahl, and Mr. Stucker. A new class was added to our curriculum this year with the arrival of Mr. Carson Wilcox, graphic arts instructor. Many students have enrolled in this class and are interested in learning this craft. In the Business Department bookkeeping is one of the main courses taught. Students enrolled in the Busi- ness Department have a choice of taking either the secretarial course or the bookkeeping course. Shorthand and typing are two of the other mainstays of this de- partment. Girls enrolled in the Home Management class have been very busy learning the arts of home management and etiquette.
