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.

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.

“MUST KEEP the records straight!” is our motto says Mrs. Senn and Mrs. Purington. The office never anticipates a dull moment. Business and business and more business keeps our office staff busy. “LAUDERDALE HIGH SCHOOL,” repeats Mrs. Shipe many times a day. She answers all sick calls in the morning and some days our absentee list is quite long. L.H.S. Office Personnel Help Faculty, Students THE “BOOKS” tell the story as Mrs. Finnell, our school book- keeper, converses with Mrs. Leer about “money matters.” The moving space may be limited but very important business is completed here. THE LIBRARY secretary doesn’t have it easy by any means. Mrs. Miller’s duties are numerous but she loves books and students.
