St. Joseph ' s College Gavit ' s Business Department, with over 25 semesters of credit-hours courses, has some- thing for everybody. Not only do Business courses give occupational training to those planning to enter the business world, many cover general information so that students can handle transactions they will encounter in everyday life. Course sequences in Stenography, Clerical Work, and Bookkeeping award students who complete about 13 Business and 21 academic semesters of designated courses a certificate in their specialized areas. Cooperative Occu- pational Education (C.O.E.) bridges the gap between job training and job placement by cooperating with businesses who apprentice senior Business students. Courses that are de- signed to educate the consumer about busi- ness deals and products, such as Business Law and Consumer Affairs, also help the business major understand the needs of his future patrons. Yearly increasing enrollment shows that students are concerned about everybody ' s Business. Mrs. Vella Johnson. Business. B.S. Indiana University 22 Learning

Artistic Ideas: Art Teacher’s Art teacher Reginald Gilbertson tries never to stress an art student ' s direc- tion, but prefers to inspire the student to use the utmost of his imagination. The only strict guidelines he sets up are during Art 1 2, when classes learn the fundamentals of art. During the next six semesters of art offered, a student is on his own to create in the area of art he prefers. Art 1 exposes students to two-demensional art forms as they learn to do paintings, designs, pen and ink drawings, silk-screening, and op-art posters. The second semester deals with three-dimensional projects like ceramics, wood carvings, metal enameling, and paper sculptures. The student may also learn some crafts as a basis for his future work. The Art department supplied the silk-screened posters advertising the Music Department’s “Fall Concert, “New Hat Concert,” “The Magic of Christmas” concert, and “Spring Concert. ” The students also furnished the scenery for the December 16 Christmas Concert. Mr. Gilbertson readily points out where the work needs to be done. Ms. Beulah Seckinger, M.S. Art, M.S. Art In- stitute and University of Chicago. Mr. Reginald Gilbertson, Art, M.S.
