9 Jy 29 □ BUSINESS EDUCATION Row 1: Mrs. Bernau, Miss Bickers, Mrs. Birch. Row 2: Mrs. Burke, Mrs. Harris. Mr. McQuain. Touch typing. The easiest way to qualify for a driving pass these days at J.E.B. Stuart is to participate in the various Business Education programs. In these courses, numerous students spend half their day in the regular classroom situation. The other portion of their school day is devoted to actual on- the-job training. The different programs available include DE (Distributive Education), VOT (Vocational Office Training), and ICT (Industrial Cooperative Training). J.E.B. Stuart’s Business Education Department, headed by Miss Bickers and supported by an able staff, also offers courses in Typing I and II, Shorthand, Business Mathematics, Personal Typing and Notehand, and instruction in the operation of business machines. This wide choice prepares students not only for a business career, but also for college and professional futures. INDUSTRIAL ARTS “Where did you get that letter opener? Camalier and Buckley?” “Nope, I made it myself in shop class.” Conversation such as this was frequently heard this year, the result of an excellent Industrial Arts Department. Mr Argentine, Mr. Blake, Mr. Conklin. Its workshops and drawing rooms are a refuge for those frustrated craftsmen who have always wanted to make bird houses or door knockers or design a sewage treatment plant (which is just what several students in Mechanical Drawing did last year). Despite an occasional smashed thumb-nail or the accidental destruction of a piece that’s been worked on for weeks, both teachers and students are very enthusiastic about the department. Mr. Conklin explains. FACULTY

FACULTY □ 28 Construction-eye view of a P.E. class. Athletic Director, Mr. DeGiorgi. PHYSICAL Anyone foolish enough to wander down the hall near the gym is liable to be trampled by a stampede of jabbering blue gym suits. Each suit actually contains a ninth or tenth grade girl aggressively surging toward one of Stuart’s playing fields. Team sports are emphasized to teach the girls good sportsmanship and the necessity of working together. Simultaneously, a boy’s P.E. class would be undertaking more masculine sports. Judging from the T-shirts and shorts worn in sub-zero weather, it’s no wonder the boys who did survive are so fit. The collapse of the partially completed new gym just before school began deflated the P.E. instructors’ dream of a separate gym for both girls and boys. The old gym, however, continued to function as a multi-purpose unit. EDUCATION Mr. Carroll: Instruction. Mr. Duvall building endurance. Row I: Mr. Duvall, Mr. Zaleski, Mr. DeGiorgi. Row 2: Miss Watlington, Miss Duncan, Miss Cunningham, Miss Porch. | I rA fi Big z
