Techniques observed The General Business classes, un- der the instruction of Mr. Larry Vogt, journeyed to Fuller Brush in Great Bend Sept. 30 to learn more about mass production. Also visited was Dillon’s, where they studied techniques used in marketing. The students felt it was helpful to hear from people who specialize in these areas and to see actual exam- ples of their techniques. Two local places visited were Peo- ples State Bank, where the classes observed its operations, and a gro- cery store where they studied pric- ing. Mrs. Cindy Austin’s Typing I stu- dents learned the basic essentials on the typewriter with emphasis on speed during the second semester. The correct ways for typing manu- scripts, letters, and envelopes were also covered. Filing, besides further learnings of the principles of typing, was an area of study in Mrs. Austin’s Advanced Typing class. It would seem as though Shorthand would be nearly impossible to learn, but students en- rolled in the class do manage to succeed. Mrs. 28 Cindy Austin demontrates the techniques used in this form of writing. (Photo by Nancee Dannebohm) Vicky Cunningham.

Math Car purchase studied General Math students participat- ed in a project involving purchasing an automobile. Two local bankers visited the two classes, one under the instruction of Mr. Roger Stremel and the other taught by Mr. George Whitmer, and discussed areas related to automobile purchase such as bor- rowing money, payments, and inter- est. A local insurance agent was also present to analyze various types of insurance. Costs of the insurance were also discussed. The general areas covered in Mr. Leon Sobba’s Algebra I classes were studies of number systems, solving equations, graphing, and an intro- duction to trigonometry. Trigonom- etry is later studied thoroughly in Mr. Stremel’s Advanced Math class. Jodi Sateren works on her problems in Mr. Leon Sobba's Algebra 1 class.
