Talents and bodies were pushed to a high degree of performance. We realized our minds would be of little value if our bodies wore out first so PE was an important part of curriculum. From simple walking to the more arduous tasks of weight- lifting, PE students made the bodies better vessels for their minds. The art of woodworking was alive and well in our shop department where we created masterpieces from smooth beautiful pieces of wood. Kenneth Nichols exhibits his ath- letic abilities by climbing to the top of the rope. Carefully, Larry Williams selects wood for his shop project. Curriculum 57

Holp was always needed. Running hither and yon, the library and office help tried to keep the confusion down to a minimum. Just think of how messed up life would have been if there hadn ' t been someone to go around and get absentees. The office sure would have been noisy if there hadn ' t been anyone around to answer the phones. And what would Miss Moore have done without the l ibrary helpers to chase down students with deliquent fines or reshelve books after they were returned? So the next time you run into that nice cool air con- ditioned library or office, think twicJe before begrudging the help their air condi- tioning.

My head hurt, and my fingers ached. but I kept trying and trying to type a few more words a minute; trying to make my hand move faster over my shorthand book. But I got panicked when I thought of that clock going and my hand just sort of froze. Congratulations! I just blew another take. Some- times it took an awful lot of work to learn about busi- ness. I figured on a job and I needed to know legal angles and how to work a dictaphone, so I took Busi- ness Law or Business Office Practice. 1 graduated and had all the training I needed. Now all I had to do was find a job. Janice Roach pounds away at the ever present secretary ' s 58 Curriculum tool - the typewriter.
