Business The Business Department provides a different avenue of study for students who don't desire to further their edu- cation, but want to embark upon a career immediately upon graduation. Through such courses as Bookkeeping I and II, Shorthand I and II, and Business Typing, students can gain practical skills and be prepared for immediate employment upon graduation from high school. Business math and Busi- ness Law, which are elective courses, supply knowledge use- ful in business and related fields and can also be valuable for college-bound students. Office practice provided an opportunity for students to see how an actual office is operated. It also taught students to handle equipment that they might encounter later in their careers such as: the electric typewriter, the ditto machine, and the various types of calculators. Many students put their skills to use in part-time jobs after school and on weekends. The Business Department assisted these students in finding jobs along with the coopera- tion of local business establishments. Students preparing for college took advantage of the half-year personnel typing course, to learn the guidelines of preparing term papers and manuscripts.

Language Proficiency in a foreign language can be a valuable achievement. Modern ways of travel make our world a small one and therefore, the possibility of meeting a person from a foreign land is not unlikely. Spanish students discovered this when a Spanish-speaking family moved into the community. These students spent their free time teaching English to the three elementary school age children of this family. The Spanish students found themselves learning as well as teach- ing. Spanish, French, and Latin are offered on three levels. A fourth level is offered if there is sufficient interest. The first level in each course is spent learning the basics of the language. This consists mainly of syntax, translating read- ings, and speaking simple sentences. The French and Span- ish classes spend time at their earphones listening to dia- logues to learn the correct pronunciation. The second level in French and Spanish concentrates more on the use of vo- cabulary along with emphasis on speaking. The students learn more grammar and rules associated with writing and speaking. Spanish Ill students read Cervantes' DON QUIXOTE, while French Ill students read many popular novels. Latin II students spend most of the year translating Caesar's GALLIC WARS. In third year Latin, students read numerous essays by Cicero.

usic The Music Department underwent many changes this past year. Instru- mental music, under the direction of Mr. William Cocca, initiated a pep band, in addition to the marching band, stage band, and concert band. The bands put on a fine performance at concerts, parades, and sporting events. The band participated in Band-in- the-Round , an annual event in which area bands meet and perform in con- cert for public enjoyment and enter- tainment. The choral groups, directed by Miss Beth Lambein, participated in Chorus -in-the-Round, in addition to perform- ing at the Spring and Fall Concerts. The Music Department presented two operettas, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and Guys and Dollsn, both under the direction of Miss Lam- bein. The high school orchestra, under the direction of Mrs. Jean Clifford, ad- ded much to the concerts performed WILLIAM COCCA -B.M., SUC Fredo- nia. Instrumental Music.

Students were rated on solos they per- formed either instrumentally or vocal- ly. The .Senior High All-County compe- tition was held in LeRoy, in April. Students had an opportunity to com- pete for a place in either chorus, band, or orchestra. Students from different schools throughout the county partici- pated in this event. These students practiced together and performed in concert for the public. The recently formed Music Boost- ers, composed of interested people from the community, sponsored many fund raising projects in order to raise money for new band uniforms. These projects included a dance at the Holy Family School, in the fall, and a raffle of a side of beef during the Christmas season. BETH ANN LAMBEIN-B.S., SUNY Potsdam. Voc. Music 7-12.
