For economic reasons, the business education staff was reduced by one, giving the department three instruc- tors. Frank Krentz, who had taught commercial for a number of years, was transferred to the driver educa- tion position and the commercial chores were divided among the three remaining staff members. Bernice Mock taught shorthand, typing, and business exploratory. Linda Barnett's teaching duties in- cluded accounting, business ma- chines, and office practice. Diane Gvozdich taught typing, consumer education, shorthand and the word processor. After the first twelve weeks of school. Mrs. Mock decided to take a sabbatical leave and Karen Williams was hired as a substitute for the rest of the year.

Little or no change was noted in the fine and practical arts’ departments with the personnel remaining intact in both areas. Mary Ellen Ambroe was in charge of the home economics' classes. Wood shop and mechanical draw- ing were under the direction of Rob- ert Myers. Terry Crissey, besides teaching some wood shop classes, had some classes in power technol- ogy. Finally the metal shop duties were handled by John Roman- chock. The fine arts' department followed the same program as in previous years with Albert Damico teaching portrait drawing, water colors, leathercraft, and oil painting. Sam Coco directed the chorus and held the annual concerts at Christmas time and in the spring. Charles Can- nin, who was in charge of instru- mental music, prepared the march- ing band for half-time shows at foot- ball games as well for local parades. The concert band performed at the Christmas and Spring Concerts. The Arts Festival, held at the end of the year, gave the students an op- portunity to exhibit their work done in the various shops. 27
