OUSINESS This year af North, a new member was adopted into the already large family of business classes — Typing Ill. Typing Ill, a semester course, required a prerequisite of af least one year of typing. Typing Ill gave students the chance to improve their typing skills. The purpose of this addition to the Business Department was to allow students to improve accuracy, especially the typing of lefrers, manuscripts, and tabulations. Mrs. Sandra Mitchell confirmed thar she “felt thar Typing Ill gave students the opportunity to learn more about the skills of typing.” Stu- dents interviewed felr thar improved typing skills would help them ger a better job. Typing Ill was not, of course, the only type of business class offered at MN. Ac- counting, Marlketing, Shorthand, and Data Processing, to name a few, were among the other areas of business study. Junior Darlene Ditto commented about her Short- hand class, ‘1 thinks it’s fun and ir helps me take better notes in my other classes. ”’ The enrollment in some of the business classes increased to the point where rhere were more students than machines. The Keypunch classes and Business Slills classes had too many sfudents and nor enough office machines. The students had to take turns using the different machines. This fact alone signifies the tremendous progress of the Business Department. Business 183

184 Art While painting, Mike Boriner picks the next square fo complere his assignment. Natural falent among stars. ART- Webster's Dictionary defines if as “a human ability to make things; creativity of men as distinguished from the world of na- ture.” Here at McCluer North, the Arf depart- ment measured if up and added to ‘'Web- sters” definition by offering students like Ju- nior Paula Burns the talent of painting her favorite project, still life. Other students had the opportunity to do their favorite projects ranging from drawing to sculpring. If you ever walked through the Library you could easily see the art displayed on the walls. These art displays were the pride and joy of the art students. Using all possible times from their everyday classes they tried to make their project the best. thinls if is a good opportunity to acknowledge all the art students and their grear abilities,“ said Senior Marie Gawlikowski. The senior art portfolio is a chance for a senior to get his eight pieces of art dis- played. These displays were observed by students, teachers, and even several col- lege representatives from local and our-of- state universities. This was the big chance for the seniors fo gain the much wanted scholarship. Getting the beginning instruction, Phil Carr starts his project in day with Ms. Dion Dion. These are just some of the wild pictures always dis- played in the art room. Drawing happily, Dan Orten scribbles away on his paper.
