Work Study Handle Money Management Mrs. Lynette Cole took over as the new instructor for the work-study class last year. Areas of study which were covered in class included mathematics, geography, his- tory, English, money management, and a major look at consumer education. A time clock was used throughout the year for the area of money management. Each student had a bank account and was given a weekly salary for time spent in the class of phoney money, which could be used to buy privileges in and out of class. On December 19, the students of all the classes held a Christmas dinner for the administration in the home economics room. The students did a real fine job on this project. In Feburary they visited the Cleveland Plain Dealer. They were able to view the entire process of how a news- paper is published and all other courses of action which takes place for its publication. Mrs. Cole uses the Plain Dealer frequently in her teachings of the classes. ln April an Awards Banquet was held to give recog- nition to the students in each class.

Headphones Help in Commercial Teaching Ten courses were offered last year with no addition of new courses. Nlrs. Marjorie Lindecamp taught Typing I and Il and also Shorthand I which was taught on a self rate basis. Students were instructed by the teacher and were allowed to take tests when- ever they felt ready. Shorthand II was not offered last year because not enough students had signed up for the course. The headphones were used quite often, which, as both instructors stated, helped tremendously, especially for those students who needed practice or had make- up work. Pre-taped lessons were used through the headphones for those students. Nlrs. Sue Holder taught seven courses last year which included business law, economics, bookkeep- ing, personnel typing, typing I and II, notehand, and business principles, a course which is only in its second year here at Edison. Class sizes were about the same as last year. An emphasis on consumer education was made through- out the year because, as lVIrs. Holder described, is one of the items which is facing the nation now and still will in the future. Six new Royal manual typewriters were also pur- chased Iast year by the Board of Education. .

I -.I QE Creativity a Milestone The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation. -John Cage This summarizes the feelings of art classes this year as they used tools and materials of art in her manner of operation. The art show clearly conveyed this feeling of self-expression and limitless creation. ln addition to creating art, stu- dents had the opportunity to see and appreciate the art of others. Art I and ll bussed to the Toledo Nluseum of Art to see the museum tour, while Art Ill and IV zipped over to the Cleveland Art lVluseum to see Swedish Textiles, and a special treat: The Smith College Collection of Nlasters' Unfinished Paintings. Mrs. Lavonne Satterfield be- lieves art's main objective is to keep the creative mind alive. UPPER RIGHT: Wayne Whitehead looks on as Mike Poyer poses for drawing au natural.
