Walking down the hall, you can hear typewriters clicking and ringing, and you might even hear frustrated screams from people making mistakes— also, on occasion, a bang as someone throws his typewriter out the window in a fit of rage. Then you’ll hear the pleasant voice of the instructor as she calmly listens to her students’ sorrows, encour¬ aging them to try, try again. Besides typewrit¬ ing, you may also find what looks like Egyptian heiroglyphics class-shorthand. All sorts of other courses in business are offered—bookkeeping and accounting being a little easier on ulcers than typ¬ ing. People who want to become business sharks, or just those who want to learn how to type for college, all are taken care of in the Business De¬ partment. MRS. SISSON MRS. THIENEL MR.

It’s the language lab—you can see students who appear to be talking to themselves, with black things on their heads and wires emerging from their ears. Their leader is listening in at the front of the room and switching buttons on and off madly trying desperately to catch students ' blunders and mispronounciations. Then, the tape recorder stops, the students disengage their headgear and file silently out of the room. The head of all this is the mysterious and awesome—ALM! A fearful leader that no one has ever seen in person, he manifests himself in the form of tape recorders, visual aids, and text books. He continues to lead the German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Portuguese students ever onward. MR. IRVIN— MRS. CERCONE Department Head FOREIGN LANGUAGE MRS. CONDIT DR. ESSER MRS. ISAKOV MRS.

“I smell something cooking ... or is it burning? MY DRESS! Get some water, baking soda, shorten¬ ing . .Splat! Cookie batter all over, but the fire is out. Girls are now running around madly trying to clean up before the bell rings, and what’s this ? Boys? Oh, it’s the first year for a boys’ class. We don’t call it home economics, not it’s “Social and Consumer Relations.” The boys are learning how to cook, sew, mend rips, and generally, how to get along in a family situation. This is the modern Home Economics Department. 30 Mrs. Nelson, mastery of homemaking. MR. BLAKE HOME ECONOMICS MRS. NELSON MRS. SCHNEIDER INDUSTRIAL ARTS MR. CLEMENTS J.E.B. Stuart’s boys can gain skill in woodwork¬ ing, electronics, metalworking, and mechanical drawing through the Industrial Arts Department. Mr. Neil’s students slave away in their air-conditioned island while Mr. Blake, Mr. Argentine, and Mr. Cle¬ ments teach in shops, using a great number of modern machines and supplies. Although no In¬ dustrial Arts courses are mandatory, many students choose them as electives for use in training in voca¬ tional fields. MR. NEIL faculty
