Students Tout Spain Approval of the school board at the December meeting cleared the way for finalization of plans con- cerning a trip to Spain by interest- ed students of the Spanish classes. While most students were spending Easter vacation with their families, sixteen Spanish students spent March 17 through March 26 abroad. Escorted by Donna Gram- ling, Spanish instructor, four sen- iors, four juniors and eight fresh- men embarked on a tour through the Spanish countryside with stops in the cities of Seville, Cordoba, Madrid and Toledo. Christmas card sales, bake sales, sub sales and car washes were a- mong the many activities conduct- ed by the group to help defray ex- penses for the trip. PUERTO RICO As ( lose 'lix ;is man will!

New Course Designed Recognizing students' need for a course teaching a better, more effi- cient way of taking notes, the bus- iness education department under- took the task of designing such a course, especially for academic seniors. The course, Notehand, lasted one semester and was under the tu- telage of Diane Gvozdich. Students were taught basic shorthand and the most effective way of taking notes from written or lectured ma- terial. They were also taught how to prepare notecards for research papers. The course was well receiv- ed, especially by the college bound seniors. Another innovation came to the typing classes when several sen- iors were permitted to teach under- classmen basic typing skills. The experience gave the girls, who were planning to major in business ed in college , a taste of what awaits them in the future. Above: About to give dictation to a notehand class is Diane Gvozdich.
