Businessmen view commercial classes with approval Mrs. Sullivan patiently teaches Phyllis, Judy, Deloris, Gloria, and Barbara how to use mimeograph and ditto machines. Business education has two divisions: cler- ical and stenographic training. Freshman requirements on the course are general business and a new subject, commercial geography. Sophomore girls take only one specialized subject, bookkeeping. Included in the eleventh grade are shorthand and typing, both of which carry over into the first semester of the senior year. Girls in l2A study business English and learn to operate the mimeograph, ditto and copy machines, electric typewriter, and dicta- phone in office practice or secretarial training classes. With this practical background, all graduates are ready for positions in downtown or school offices. Judy earns extra points for dictation from Miss Macy. Mr. l-lollibaugh Mr. Hunter Mr. R.

M o s u I usic is emotions barometer This is harmony? Plugged ears and Mr, Marocco's silent accusation suggest that the lost chord should stay lost. Approximately twelve hundred recorded selections-from Carmen to the Syncopated Clock --are made available to music appreciation students. 28 The best way for music appreciation stu- dents to become acquainted with different types of music is to listen attentively, operatic and orchestral records take on meaning when explained by Miss Nicholas. The class reads biographies of composers and performers and keeps notebooks con- taining vocabularies, lists of conductors, pictures of different orchestra and band instruments, and a program record of bal- lets, operas, symphonies, and background music from movies, television, or radio. lf one is to progress far in his study of music, he must perfect the performance side, he must also know something of the techniques of music. Harmony and theory, a class of five students, deals with the basic principles of composing and arrang- ing, Mr. Morocco begins the semester with frequent blackboard drills on scales and a study of chords. The theoretical aspects of the subject are presented in the text, Harmony and Theory. From these daily drills and studies, pupils acquire the ability to compose and to play their own melodies.

Oppor- tunities and experiences in many fields help them to select future occupations. Two years of drafting are required for those who intend to take wood or machine shop, and advanced courses in architectural drawing and machine drawing are offered. ln woodshop, pupils progress from hand to machine tools and make everything from props for school plays to beautiful articles of furniture.

An addition to indus- trial arts this year is a course in elec- trical shop, in this class, the fundamen- tals of electricity are taught by means of textbooks, lab work, and class tours.
