Students View Spanish Film In order to master either German or Spanish, many individuals dis- covered it time consuming and quite puzzling. However, the great personal satisfaction attained by the end of the year out weighed all the hard laboring study. With the use of headsets, a tape recorder console and film strips, foreign language instructors familiarized their students with the dialect and customs of different lands. In mid November, approximately 30 students enrolled in Spanish courses took advantage of the opportunity to attend Duquense University in Pittsburgh where the Spanish version of the movie Romeo and Juliet was presented. Carlos Montoya, famous Spanish singer and guitarist, also enter- tained the students. 23

Business Ed Modernizes To meet the growing needs that modern business requires, the business education department ac- quired ten IBM electric type- writers and a cassette film-strip projector. In addition, a new office practice simulation set enabled those students enrolled in office practice to actually fill out a job application, get an interview, and then work on actual jobs pro- vided in the set. As in the past, senior students were placed in a work program so as to gain knowledge through on-the-job training. Business stu- dents also were busy serving the school in such ways as typing for the Montage, duplicating many papers for students, teachers and administration, and setting up and duplicating sports programs.

Income Tax Course Proves Invaluable Offered only to those seniors taking history and those wishing to take it during a study hall, a four week course explaining the proper procedure of completing income tax forms gave students the opportunity to get acquainted with and actually complete various tax forms. Obtaining all informa- tion from the federal government, each student was given a hand- book to refer to when a prob- lem arose. By the end of the fourth week each student completed a state, short, and even a long tax form. This course was especially helpful to those with part-time jobs who needed the knowledge of completing the different forms. Next year taxation will be offered as a mini-course. Although it will not be mandatory, the social studies department strongly suggests that students take advantage of this course. Discussing the evaluation of man are World Cultures in instructor Fred Vespa and student Jay Mader. 24
