Such classes as typing, shorthand, business law, accounting, sales, and marketing are just an exam- ple of those included in the education department. The program helps the student prepare for jobs after graduation and also for college. Office educa- tion and distributive educa- tion are programs within the business program and offer on-the-job training while the student is still in high school. The business program has been around since 1969 and there are presently an estimated 1800 students enrolled according to Robert Osten, head of the department.

Edward Mittvalsky Charles Renfrow Art A Busy Year by Lori Herting According to Ed Mitt- valsky, instructor, the art classes were very popular. The interest in art still continued to be a great success. Art classes includedg basic art, design and mater- ials, graphic arts, photo- graphy and advanced pho- tography. These were all one semester courses taught both semesters. The only restrictions on these classes were that a student must be a junior or senior to take photography and only A students in photography can get into advanced photo- graphy. These restrictions will be the same for the 1983-84 school year. All of the other art classes could ll A student in Ron Hahlen's art class puts the finishing touches on her project.

In addition to the class projects, the art classes did more reading about art than in previous years. Accord- ing to Mittvalsky, this proved to be totally new in art. There won't be any new art classes added to the five that Hempstead already has. Mittvalsky feels these five include about every- thing the students are inter- ested in. Art contests this year included the Senior Draw- ing Exhibit at Iowa City, the Scholastic Magazine Art Contest, the University of Iowa Scholarship Exhibit, and the University of Iowa Scholarship Contest.

Driver Education Three Classes in Une by Larry Billmeyer Driver education is one of the most popular classes here at Hempstead. Driver education teaches students the basic fundamentals of driving a car. Students must be fifteen and have a driving permit to take this course. A student does not receive a credit for this course, which is a semester in length. A student must have seventy percent or better to pass. This may seem high, but it is a state law. Driver education consists of three parts: simulator, classwork, and behind the wheel driving. Simulator is usually once a week. A student is as- signed to a simulator car where he or she watches 11 Sue Strong '84 concentrates on a right turn.

Class work consists of tests, quizzes, and textbook work. Behind the wheel driving is when the student actually gets behind the wheel of a driver education car and drives around the city and out on the highways. Most students have driver educa- tion four times a week, once for simulator, once behind the wheel, and twice for class. If a student misses a class he or she must make it up. This includes all of the classes in driver education. Driver education makes it easy to get a drivers license so a student can drive. I9 l ! 'T ' -'Isl Numan.
