Business classes prepare students for jobs and college The business classes offered at GHS included both preparatory classes for college, such as typing and notehand, and classes that taught skills to be used on the job right after high school. Typing students learned both speed and accuracy and how to type business letters and term papers. Shorthand and notehand students learned how to take notes quickly in any situation and transcribe them for use. Accounting students were taught how to keep books for small companies, while advanced accounting students learned about partnership and corporation accounting. The business classes helped the students prepare for college classes or a job after graduation, as well as helping them in their other classes. BUSINESS 27

Fine arts students set, reach high goals The Fine Arts Department at GHS this year has established a new level of achievement for future years. The choirs were involved in many solo and group activities which went to contest and placed at a high level of competition. Choir students have had exposure to all styles of music from jazz, vocal and pop to classical music. Thanks to dedicated Miss Margaret Buttermore, the choirs are greatly improving over the years. In the art field, the students are becoming more involved and really producing nice work. Art students, throughout the year learn how to sculpture, paint and draw the hard way. An art exhibit was a major event which most art students participated. The drama end of the Fine Arts Department put on the productions ‘‘Inherit the Wind’’ and ‘Little Mary Sunshine’’ which the student body enjoyed. Jeff Lyon won the John Philip Sousa Award for his outstanding musical accomplishments during his four years in band.
