How Every year brings a need for many more qualified personnel in the field of business. The Commercial Department pre- pares Liberty students for the many busi- ness opportunities awaiting them. The di- versified program includes these courses: typing and shorthand I and ll, record- keeping, business math, transcription, busi- ness law, bookkeeping, and general busi- ness. Emphasis is placed on using the most up-to-date equipment available. Teachers, Dorothy Neumann and Hannah Calhoun, who is retiring after many years of dedi- cated service, encourage students to learn by doing. For example, students enrolled in recordkeeping operate the school book- store, while the typists show their skills by working for the teachers. Mr. K. Lyle To Succeed Mrs. D. Neumann, Mrs. H.

With the ever increasing number of cars on the road, and the high accident rate, a driver's training course is highly recommended for all students learning to drive. Under the direction of Mr. Lyle, students not only learn the practical skills of driving, ,but also facets essential to motor safety. Obey those traffic rules, keep an eye on the speedometer, watch out for the other guy and signal your in- tentions are continually stressed.

A Break for Fitness Mr. J. Baker, Miss J. Poley, Miss J. Levinson, Mr. J. Jones. :-- 11- ,.,.:, af Ha tk- rw ,. RW so ,fit --.- While the corridors are cloaked in silence, grunts, groans, cheers, and jubilant voices can be heard echoing through the gym. The gym . . . a haven for the athletes and purgatory for the less agile. Here students forget their pressures long enough to enjoy a variety of athletic activities such as springing on the trampoline, hockey, volleyball, basketball, bad- minton and new this year- square dancing. Besides, group participation provides the students with the oppor- tunity to learn the rules of good sportsmanship and the basic skills of most sports. ln fulfilling the theory that a healthy body promotes a healthy mind, a physical fit- ness program has been in- stituted at LCS. Every fall and spring, students take physical fitness tests, which are used for national com- parison. Intramurals and interscho- lastic sports provide enjoy- ment, competition and activ- ity for those who wish to further their athletic abilities outside of regular classes. my, I can't be drafted.
