The vocational department is one of the fastest growing departments at MHS, both in size and importance. The newest program is OWE (Occupational Work Experience) which joins the al- ready established programs of DE, DCT, COE, and Work Study. These programs benefit the student who does not plan to attend college bv giving him salable skills to offer the business or in- dustrial world after graduation. Closelv connected with the vocation- al department is the business depart- ment. COE was joined this year bv BOE (Business Office Education), an intensive business program for juniors. Other general business courses are of- fered. Left: Mrs. Schafer watches Janet Kincaid’s prog- ress in typing class.

The Fine Arts Department at MHS includes manv areas. Devel- opment of mind, bodv, and spirit are equally important, so fine arts includes art, music, physical education, and humanities cours- es. In the field of art, courses offered are crafts, painting, and gen- eral art. Band, choir, and music appreciation satisfy the music lover, while humanities offers a sampling of all of these. Gvm courses are phvs ed and gymnastics. Above: Jim Yeager looks like he’s smashing something, but actually he’s making a copper dish in crafts class. Above right: Our own Lawrence Welk swings the choir into another number with, A one . . . a two ... a three.” (It’s really Mr. Carey.) Right: Medina’s special education class con- stitutes a department in itself. Teachers Mrs. Starr and Mrs. Streett do a fine job helping students in this class to learn at their own speed and to achieve their greatest possible potential. 28
