It is a course that helps the students know what to do in common emergencies. Intramurals are a voluntary part of the physical ed- ucation program for students. They are held after school to give students a chance to participate and develop their skills learned in class.

Each student has a set of ear phones which enables him to listen to Spanish spoken by natives. Flashcards, along with records, filmstrips, and tapes are also used to help give the student a bet- ter understanding of the language.

ID Goldfishj Typlng The goals of the Typing Department are to develop skills sufficient enough to help the students aquire a secretarial or business careeer in the future. The course is available only to ninth graders. Some of the activities that the classes work on dur- ing the year are learning to type postcards, notes, letters, short compositions, formal manuscripts, and business letters. The typing course stresses the development of habits which will help the students all through their lives, such as accuracy, speed, self-discipline, wil- lingness to Work, and initiative. Good typing ability can only be accomplished by daily practice, and depends completely on the stu- dents attitude and the personal goals he sets for him- self. MRS, FREED
