The Liberty Belles Wore cranberry A-line dresses with accessories. The Contin- ental Choralettes had two outfits. The instrumental music classes also had new outfits. The Continental Sym- phony wore their traditional black, the boys in blazers and the girls in brocade.

The general business classes had new texts and workbooks which were more attractive and more up to date than the older ones. In General Business I, the pupils brought in advertisements to be analyzed. In General Business II classes, the telephone company sent telephones and scripts to enable pupils to simulate actual conversations in an office. Mrs. Darlene Blanford formulated a new method of grading in her typing classes. The pu- pils in these classes worked more problems and stressed accuracy in letters. Salesmanship, a course taken by pupils inter- ested in the sales profession, aided pupils holding part-time jobs and those who will want better jobs when they have graduated.
