New artists' press enables classes to print ancl etch New opportunities were made available to stu- dents in art classes this year as an artists' press was added to the department's equipment. The press makes possible work in numerous types of printing and etching and allows students in all grades to become acquainted with more varied forms of art. Students in Art X classes concentrate mainly on gaining a basic understanding of fundamental art techniques. Art Xl emphasizes art in the com- mercial fields of advertising and fashion designing. Art Xll, once again added to the school's curricu- lum after a one-year lapse, is designed to give the student an opportunity to study the fine arts more deeply. All art courses offered stress functional tech- niques which will be of value to students in their future lives.

Program changes prepare students for business world To achieve its purpose of preparing students for the business world, Mason City High School's busi- ness education department is continually changing its program. This year, for the first time, secretarial and clerical students are working on the job with a background of two full years' training. Two new courses, introduction to stenography and introduc- tion to clerical training, were introduced last year. Students who received the benefit of these courses are now on the job. A change has also been made in the order of courses. Formerly, business law was offered the first semester and business problems the second, This situation has been reversed, enabling students who were unable to take business law previously to do so now. BOOK BALANCERS - Bookkeeping students Sandi Tuthill, Dennis Lechman and Janice Beinke use adding machines. i
