Students thus became better acquainted with busi- ness procedures before graduation, Office practice, shorthand, secretarial training, and business English prepared commercial students for careers as general office em- ployees and secretaries. Typing, consid- ered a necessity for the college bound, was elected by most academic students. Some freshmen got the jump on their high school responsibilities by taking typing during summer school, After budget con- scious students had conquered the business arithmetic and bookkeeping courses, they found unbalanced budgets and overdrawn accounts were less frequent occurrences. Salesmanship pupils encountered difficul- ties when they tried to sell fellow class- mates typewriters, tape recorders, house- hold appliances, and even an automobile. A successful sales talk ended with a sat- isfied customer and a relieved salesman. omnwtcial ffzaineefs gfzoom get ollllice jo S For dealing with Mr. Hunter's bookkeeping tabulations, Mark Maudlin's adding machine is superior to Kathy Savini's longhand.

Nancy Lindley and Daniel Quillen prepare for the Hallo- ween season by constructing comic masks from newspapers. Teenage belief that all music is the twist and all art is abstract was refuted by the discussions in art and music classes which provided students with an introduction to the fine arts. Using this erudition as a background, students progressed to an ap- preciation of Michelangelo and Beethoven. Objectives of music appreciation ranged from the study of symphonies, concertos, and operas to modern jazz and the newest bossa nova. Practical class assignments included television musicals, radio con- certs, and trips to the Purdue Music l-lall. To connect the past with the present, bio- graphies of three famous composers or artists were included as required reading. Art classes incorporated various aspects of design. During the first semester, stu- dents molded vases and dishes from clay. Painting in oils was initiated and sculp- turing was added as a challenge to more advanced classes. The science of advertis- ing was also probed, Starting with a study of artists and their works as a springboard, classes experimented with art forms which originated with the Renaissance masters.
