Students were trained not only for secretarial, bookkeeping or clerical work but for college and everyday living. A course in stenography was offered which included typing, shorthand and filing. In the bookkeeping classes, students were taught how to keep budgets and accounts. Dictat- ing machines were utilized by-students learning shorthand. All students were encouraged to take at least one business course before they graduated since knowledge of business has been a necessity in most areas of work. Mrs. Flemer Mrs. Mosher

Music Department undertakes fund-raising projects to finance performances Two teachers, new to John Marshall, led the music department and produced many interesting musical performances. Joint efforts at the be- ginning of the year provided the money needed to finance performances and other projects. The orchestra and the choir presented a Christ- mas program for the school and had represent- atives at Regional musical conventions. John Marshall’s concert band presented a spring concert, and the orchestra played in a PAVE orientation program and a spring festival. Later in the year, a stage band was formed under the direction of Mr. Kennedy. TOP LEFT: Nelly Fagalde practices her violin for perfection.
