TALENTED GROUPS PERFORM WIDELY This year the Four Sharps and A Flat were a little more active than in previous years. Besides singing in the annual band tour, they sang for various ous other organizations throughout the community. Harmonizing almost every Wednes- day after school, the Mellodears com- bined their voices in barbershop style. In January, these fourteen girls, under the direction of Mr. Bush, went to contest. Their efforts earned a second. Triple Trio underwent a major change in personnel as only four of the nine returned in the fall. Incoming freshmen and a sophomore filled these places well at the group’s perform- ances. Friday mornings saw stage band and and pep band members rush to the band room at 8:25-the starting time for rehearsals. The stage band provi- ded the music for the homecoming festivities. They also brought the 30’s and 40’s to life with their spring con- cert tour. The pep band used their skills to liven pep sessions with the school song and other peppy music. Brass Choir provides music before Christ- mas program. TRIPLE TRIO. Teresa Remy, Beity Etting- er, Joyce Dunnuck, Sue Hiers, Barb Tib- bets, Rita Murcia, Cathy Tucker, Joyce Shand, Teresa Yazel.

Business classes at MHS are of a wide variety. They’re taught by Mrs. Acker and Mrs. Hall and over one third of the student body was enrolled in them. The courses included Typing I in which they learned how to correctly type letters, business forms, manu- scripts, and improve their speed. Typing II furthered this ferocious pace of learning. In Office Practice, directed mainly toward future secretaries, they learned skills such as filing, filling out forms, and keeping office records. They learned how to make a personal data sheet and prepare for interviews too. Shorthand students learned to write shorthand and to take dictation well. Bookkeeping classes filled in prac- tice business forms. Simulating busi- ness transactions, too, took their time. Business Law students studied con- tracts, court cases, and related things in law. The class also went to Roches- ter and saw a court case. Salesmanship classes learned how to effectively sell a product. In General Business students learned to do income taxes, figured percentages, studied stocks, and learned a bit of data processing, and Business Math did much the same. A high point of the year for several business students was a trip to Fort Wayne where they went through the Lincoln National Life Building and the Fort Wayne National Bank.
