i Students working in the field of busi- ness anticipated the outcome of their daily goals. Business classes became more of a challenge as students worked to achieve their best. Students in typing, shorthand, and accounting seemed to be in competition with each other in seeing which class would do best. This year the business department put into programs the plans for an exten- sive office lab. New machines and busi- ness equipment were bought for this purpose. When completed, the room was designed to give students a taste of working in the outside world.

Students get a daily workout. High School students realized how challenging Physical Education could be when the middle school was com- pleted, and the classes became more advanced. Mr. Gross and Mrs. Hanley ‘‘cracked down” on the students and on the requirements of the classes. Middle School students continued to use the high school gym because their gym was not completed, but this didn’t seem to bother high school students since the classes were kept seperate from each other. High Schoolers real- ized that soon the Middle School stu- dents would be gone forever. 3 1. Jenny Jesko and Jeff Riley learn the basic steps of square dancing. 2.
