Business Department Acquires Key Punch With the acquisition of a number of new business machines, commercial students were able to explore new fields of study. Among the new equipment was a data processing machine, more familiarly, a key punch. Students spent about six weeks of the office prac- tice course experimenting and working with it. The other new items which served as study aids included a dictating machine, three electronic calcu- lators and a wireless shorthand lab. “The new equip- ment has proven to be a successful innovation to our program and has made the students more well- rounded in the field.” (Frank Krentz) In a practical application of their studies, several business students spent some class time working at the local banks and the Forest Hills Credit Union. I was glad for a chance to put the things I learned to good use.” (Eva Smay) In his Business Machines class. Frank Krentz takes time out to put a new reel on an adding machine. 26—Business Education

Language department chairman Hans Ruddeck (below) awaits an answer to a review question given to his German II class. Donna Gramling (bottom) assists Rose Ann Mucker in the construction of a pinata to be used by the Spanish class in a Christmas program for the elementary students. Spanish HS Performs For Elementary Kids Traditional Christmas celebrations for kindergarten students took a backseat to a Mexican-styled program originated by Mrs. Donna Gramling and her Span- ish III and IV classes in conjunction with the Span- ish Honor Society. A new approach was taken in Spanish IV. Class time was divided in six week mini-courses with the students given an option to take any one or all of the courses. Included in the courses were Con- versational, Spanish Culture, History and Geogra- phy, Prose, Poetry and Vocabulary. The mini- course system gave me a chance for an indepth study in the areas I was most interested. (Annette Smith) German students grappled with the language in the language lab under the tutelage of Hans Ruddeck. Film strips, cassettes and other visual aids were used by the students. With the use of headsets, tape recorders and cassettes, the stu- dents were better able to grasp the proper pro- nunciation, making them more affluent in speak- ing the German language.
