New “Tools’”’ Propel Students into Business World Loud, frustrated sighs accompanied the tapping of the typewriters heard in the business department. Students taking typing composed and typed letters, manvu- scripts, envelopes; and took timings. Neat- ness, which sometimes seemed virtually impossible, was foremost. For some, shorthand proved as harrow- ing as typing. These students took dic- tation for speed and accuracy. Also, there were tests on brief forms, the “alphabet’’ of shorthand. In its second year at MHS, personal typ- ing aided those students headed for col- lege. Seniors who planned to seek employ- Addition—Subtraction—Multiplication—Division! One machine can perform all these feats? ment after graduation found secretarial practice a preview of what to expect “on the job.” Mrs. Rice dictates to her sixth period shorthand II class. Gradually in- creasing the speed, she prepares her students for their future secre- tarial jobs. MRS. PATRICIA BREEDEN, Personal Typing, Bookkeeping, FBLA MRS. BETTY RICE, Typing Il, Shorthand |, II, Secretarial Office Practice Trojan Practice, efficiency, and speed are words drilled into the minds of all shorthand students.

Ping-pong Sparks Enthusiasm From Students A new sports activity joined the physical education program at school—ping pong. During physical education periods stu- dents determinedly battled one another over the nets. Students in the physical education class- es played basketball, performed tumbling feats, and bounded daringly on the tram- poline. In the spring, the classes enjoyed baseball, softball, and track. With classroom instruction, Mrs. Ash- craft taught the 8th and 9th grade stu- dents the first aid principles two days a week. The sophomore course included driver's education in the classroom and behind the wheel. Enjoying a new sport at school, Debbie Wood battles an opponent in a fast game of ping pong. “This must be easier said than done!’ exclaims Paula Johnson as she vainly attempts to jack up a car for driver’s education class.

New Science Courses Begin “How is the earth formed?” queries a puzzled eighth grader. Aided by a new textbook, MODERN PHYSICAL SCIENCE, the student’s question was answered. Even through they were studying earth science, the course also touched upon chemistry and physics. The new book called for many demonstrations which proved enlighten- ing and helpful to the students. Freshmen, concentrated upon several general fields— earth science, biology and chemistry. Constructing mole- cules, aided the student in visualizing abstract terms. “You don’t expect me to touch that frog, do you?” a frantic girl exclaims. Miss Easterling mischievously nods her head in the affirmative. In biology all students were expected to participate. Gazing at slides under the microscope and taking notes on the life cycle of a jelly fish were a few of the many things that took place in class. Chemistry experienced the biggest change over this year. With the new book, CHEMISTRY—AN EXPERIMEN- TAL SCIENCE, students no longer had to memorize the chemical laws as dull facts. They performed experi- ments to prove these laws themselves. Requiring much thought and thorough concen tration, the new course was a challenge to all its students. Instead of a mere acceptance of facts, physics students questioned the “why” of such phenomenons as “the sun’s rising,” the “tides,” and the “wind.” Freshmen busily study earth science and biology in their science course. After constructing a styrefoam molecule, Susan Smith quiz- zically examines its complex structure. With a change over in the chemistry course this year, students perform more experiments. Brenda Henshaw prepares to heat water over a bunsen burner. MISS CAROLYN MISS JUDITH EASTERLING FRANCIS MRS.
