Art The Art Department reiiected the skill and hard work of all its students this year. Mr. Pack- ard, our new art teacher, replaced Mr. Williams, who retired at the end of the first semester. Under the supervision of Mr. Williams, the art students added beautiful plaques to our Student Room. These murals certainly were a pleasant and bright addition. With reluctance we parted with Mr. Williams whose artistic talents have reiiected on us for many years. We happily welcomed Mr. Packard to our faculty in January. .Ss 'X 499 B Gi rl Nb , 34' ff ff y rs I I Cant I just take a picture. ' Can I help it, I have a stiff neck. Raymond Packard, H.

Work Experience The Retailing Work Experience program is a unique system which enables students from Retailing I and II classes to gain valuable on- the-job experience by working part-time in local retailing establish- ments. These students are first taught selling techniques in class, and are then given part-time employment in local stores. These jobs en- able the future businessmen and women to come in contact with the internal operations of the business world. Aside from gaining valu- able experience, a student participating in this program may obtain one school credit by working a total of 450 hours. The student re- ceives the same wages as any other part-time employee. In this way, the student earns while he learns. This program offers the students an opportunity to explore career possibilities, supplement their school training, and, most important, come in contact with the world in which they live and work. .asa I 19 The Work Experience Students

Music Standing: Mr. Connor. Sitting: Mr. Feller. The music department teaches young people how to become proficient enough in music to perform before audiences. Mr. Connor leads all the singing groups, Mr. Feller directs the band and teaches instrumental lessons, and Mr. Bradley conducts the orchestra and teaches stringed instruments. A new class, Rudiments of Music, has been estab- lished this year. This 'teaches music appreciation and shows the many different forms of music. The students also study instruments and composers. Music has been conducted to our ears this year through the efforts of many separate groups lead by their zealous instructors. When I was younger, and but a child . . .
