 Students Prepared For Business World Preparing the students to move on in today s business world was the aim of the business education department. The acquisition of new electronic equipment by the department aided the business students in the moving on process. The sophomores, in their business exploratory classes, had an opportunity to Find out if they wished to move on in business education. This 12-week course permitted the sophomores to get a briefing in shorthand, accounting and typing. For the upperclassmen, office practice and business machines were offered, both of which helped the students to move on” in the practical knowledge of the business world. In teaching typing, shorthand and accounting and imple- menting these courses with modern electronic equipment, the business education department adequately prepared the students to move on to employment in the business field.

Tour Of Spain Made By Spanish Group In the foreign language department moving on was more apparent in the Spanish classes than in German, which remained rather stable throughout the period. A trip to Spain in early spring by the Spanish club was certainly an excellent means of moving on to a better under- standing of the culture and customs of the Spanish people. The Spanish Honor Society again conducted the pinata Christmas program for the kindergarten in the elementary school. Several of the advanced students were given an opportunity to move on in their studies with individual instruction by the teacher. Also, the upper classes again took on teaching chores of instructing the elementary students in the rudiments of Spanish. Through these and other activities, the foreign language department was always willing to help their students to move on . Above: Hans Ruddeck reviews for a test in his German II class.

Students 'Move On’ In Cultural Areas In the art department, the first year student began with portrait drawing and moved on” to watercolors and leather- craft. Those wishing to move on” experimented with silk screening, oil painting, macrame and more advanced skills. In the field of instrumental and choral music there was a continual moving on by a number of students who advanced to county, regional and state participation. Students of both departments had an opportunity to participate in broadway musicals, band members taking part in the orchestra and chorus members having leads and supporting roles in the musical itself. Several members of the band also had the distinction of mov- ing on to Honors Band. Helping students to move on” to a better understanding and enjoyment of the cultural aspects of education was the aim of the fine arts department.
