Machines, and Busy Hands Comprise Business Office Practice Course Success OUR NEW DEPARTMENT creates enthusiasm! The Business Department of Ft. Lauderdale High now has in full swing a realistic and practical course operating through the cooperation of the teachers of the various business subjects. Through the Office Practice-Machines Depart- ment, which has been in operation only one year, future office workers and secretaries-to-be are learning the use of simple mechanical devices which will help speed-up and educate them for their future duties. The ditto machine, which duplicates rapidly, is one of the biggest aids for our busy office staff. Everything from contracts to letters are “run off” on this marvelous device. Other machines, the stencil, tape recorder, and fundamental appliances of a P.A. system are also in use. “KEEP IT NICE and straight” remarks David Derthuch to Tom Tcidman as they “shave a few inches off a board. “Shop” is fun but educating.

L.H.S. Physical Education Beneficial ‘‘HUP. TWO, THREE FOUR, your left,—your left,— your left, right left,” are the calls given by our gym teachers as the boys go through their three-week drill period. While the boys are marching, the girls enjoy volleyball for a full eight-week period, ending with a thrilling two weeks. During the latter time the boys were battling in football. Following the girls’ volleyball comes whisket. where the females try to play an awkward game of baseball without touching the ball with their hands. The boys, in the meantime, are going through a rough physical fitness test, which is being stressed more than ever. The gym instructors feel that you must be physically fit before you are able to do anything else. Having dis- covered new muscles, the boys are set for their basket- ball sessions for a six weeks. Later in the year the girls take on paddleball. basketball: the seniors trying their hand at football, gatorball, and group sports. Stressed in Physical Education AS HE SKIMS over the top, Bill Finkbeiner shows good form during an acrobatic practice in a gym class. Acrobatics have been proven to be one of the more popular events during the year. “JUST A LITTLE more and Til be at the top. mutters Joe Tucker, during a physical education class. Improving the muscles can be done in more ways than one. Si fill 27

Music, Art Enjoyed; Educational “AND THE FLYING L Marching Band!” are the proud words of Mrs. Wm. Bennett as he intro- duces his “A” band at football halftime shows. The band also plays at pep assemblies, band con- certs, and State Tournaments, where we were rated straight Superior. Daily drills and constant practice are the things that make our band tops as they march in the blue and white uniforms that sym- bolize our Flying L spirit. Many of our beautiful art displays and posters are products of a fine LHS art department. Ad- vanced art works with chemical, metal and glass textures. Beginning classes learn types of printing and basic design under Mrs. Force’s direction. “First year here and she is tops!” are the com- pliments to Miss Chung who now is leading the chorus department. Beginning chorus students study breath control, fundamentals of music, and sight reading.
