28 rotating art gallery highlights classes, halls The students at Harrison always know what's hap- pening in the Art Department because the art work produced by the students is displayed throughout the school in a rotating gallery. Empty bulletin boards are an oddity thanks to Mrs. Barbara Horwitz and Mrs. Valeria Petrini, the two art instructors. In the spring, a major display of artwork highlighted the open house. This year the strong point of the department was the fine arts, although textile weaving and macrame were introduced. In the fall, students communed with nature as they searched for plants and barks to draw. Students found the outings to be a welcomed change from everyday school life.

30 business ed classes cater to all students Necessary business skills and techniques are offered in Harrison's Business Education curriculum. They provide almost any sort of preparation for the business world. There are some courses in the Business Ed. Department that are offered to college preparatory students, such as notehand and typing, helpful in high school as well as col- lege. Larger rooms with more space are equipped as a short- hand lab and a secretarial preparation room. These rooms have modern equipment that will make a student ready for entry into office jobs in the future. Retailing classes have taken on a new responsibility. Ad- vised by Mr. Robert Gagniuk, the school store, Karma, is opened mornings and during all lunch hours. The respon- sibilities of the retailing classes not only include the sale of products but also the bookkeeping. The store contains items ranging from clothes to candy. A special feature is merchandise such as candles and jewelry, made by the stu- dents.
