Musicians Practice To Cain Perfection La, La, Laaaal Lets try that again. Practice was the key word in the minds of the musicians at Liberty. Vocal students practiced long and hard to bring music alive. The Band played and marched and marched and played until near perfection was achieved. Under the supervision and guidance of Mr. jones and Mr. Smith, the music students were taught to play or sing better and to appreciate what they were achieving. Those who had no special talent with a musical instrument or voice, could enroll in Harmony and Theory or Music Apprecia- tion, which offered a history of music and the basic fundamentals of music. In addition to the dance band, the Sauerkraut band added an air of comedy and casualness to the seriousness of Band III. A great deal of time and patience was spent in preparation of various musical presentations, the results of the Spring and Christmas con- certs and the Elementary Festivals proved to the students that it was all worth the work. With more than a little effort Louise Chastek and Donna Currier coax haunting notes from their oboes ALLAN jON'ES B.M., M.M., Area Chairman of Music Dept., Band, Music I, Music Appreciation.

' I -L fb After receiving dictation, students in Shorthand Il carefully transcribe their lessons. S .2 1 3 . .Q v ic.. X Students Attain Business Fundamentals The business world beckons to many and the instruction received in business courses prov- ided a strong and permanent foundation for future careers in this field. Business teachers gave their students actual problems that would occur in an office. Eager bookkeepers were presented with problem sets, while speedy stenographers tried to take dicta- tion at speeds of 120 words per minute. Such machines as dictaphones, ten-key adding ma- chines, and full key calculators were used by Clerical Office classes. While some students had classroom training in these courses, others gained valuable experience by working in the school business office. New to the Commercial Department was Miss Pirtle, who taught Typing I and Shorthand I and II.
