8 Working Hands and Fingers An open house sponsored by the business and vocational departments in January gave the public a chance to see what was being offered. Business students, besides helping with open house demonstrations, also had a chance to visit the new Federal Reserve Building in downtown Richmond. ‘‘Touring the building and viewing a film were interest- ing,’ said Ms. Moxley, ‘‘but the highlight was seeing the security system and the ex- ecutive board room which has a direct line to the President.” Both the business and home economics departments utilized the availability of speakers in the Richmond area. Represen- tatives from Merrill Lynch, United Virginia Bank, and the accounting agency of Coo- per’s and Lybrand talked to the business classes. Vill Speed typist.

New Area Is Cool After eight months of waiting, the ma- jority of the art’s department moved into the new addition on April 15, 1981. This was just the right time of the year as this new building is air conditioned. The first comment made by Mr. Swelnis after spending a day in his new classroom was “Cool’’, and then he just smiled. The new sections houses the drafting classes, shop rooms and an English class. According to Mr. Thomas, the building was primarily designed for voca- tional purposes. It includes such features as a wood shop with an all new central dust collector, a photograph laboratory run by Ms. Catherine Robinson, and a small engine room. Situated between the two shops are a foundry and a dustproof finishing room. A real mudslinger. Mrs. Loden lends a helping hand with a pottery project. Is it right?
