Students taking this course calculate, create, and construct according to their success in the first two skills. Actually, Mrs. Nancy Neuman prepares her prospective proteges sufficiently in the first three levels of the course. The amateurs are instructed in comprehen- sion, neatness, and drafting techniques Qsketching, lettering, problem solving, and three-dimensional drawing with emphasis on measurementsjd' Having acquired a solid foundation, students continue to build their know-how with machine drawing or architecture based on specifications. In advanced classes, the term is roofed with the final project--a model of a building complete with floor plans and elevations. Who know, a Lowellite may emerge in the future as another Frank for Frances for that mattery Lloyd Wright. f if --fr Journalism ,NW its uagelgcilgxjrtliiafueadsf gram' COPY, half-tones--the lang- Advanced studen1:s publish the RED St WHITE and the tone of COUZ?

Top: Janice LoForti, Bottom: Pam Lyau ' 'flu . in ,, - T ypiflg Considered a skill, typing should occupy every student at least one term. If the classroom proves too noisy for sensitive ears, earphones are the answer! Typing l includes the basics, such as centering, horizontally and vertically, tabulating margins, composing, and personal typing. Students skim through the term paper and business formats. For a greater understanding ofthe typewriter Typing 2 includes detailed study on the term paper, outlines, manuscripts, and letters. Although unable to type l5O words per minute to the rhythm of Ain't No Love. . . Like My Baby's Love as Ronald Todd Mingo can, typing students may perhaps type 50 words to a slower rhythm, As the Beat Goes On. A battery of teaching talent handled the typing classes over the past year--Mrs. Jan LaForti, Mrs. Stella Michaelian, Miss Pam Lyau, Mr. Don Richardson, and Miss Iennette Adami. 16

Tardy Sophomore Strings or Advanced Orch- estra students must miss rehearsal, for Mr. Jack Pereira locks the doors three minutes after the bell sounds. Tune-up promptly begins and the musi- cians play the piece practiced the night before, with practices all leading to big events such as concerts. Rehearsals before concerts may run from '7 to 10 pm. The conductor tests the students in- dividually at the end ofthe semester. The orchestra exhibits its talents in such per- formances as the november 3 Fall Concert, which included alumni musicians, Porgy and Bes with the Chorus, the Spring Concert, and yearly per- formances at Grace Cathedral. This year they played at the Opera House and took occasional trips to other cities.
