Artists create with ease A little dab here, a touch up there and Wa-La a masterpiece! Sounds pretty simple. But don't let that fool you, it's not quite as easy as it looks. Art students worked hard to get just the right results for their creations, whether they were molding a hunk of clay into a sculp- ture or transforming a blank canvas into a shaded, green forest. Art courses available were Art I, Art II, Dimensional Art and Pottery. Each class was filled with students eager to learn the secrets of producing a good work of art.

fs, W' if Type it up - Senior Becky Mills shows that typing her daily assignment can be lots of work and very, very frustrating at times. Time out - Senior Lisa Robertson and junior Marga Taylor take time out to relax a little in typing class. Business courses vary in Northeast Typing sixty words a minute with no typing mistakes, adding and sub- tracting various figures on adding machine, and using the right symbols for dictation were only a few things that business students learned to do every day in class. Many business courses were of- fered during the school year. They were typing, accounting, shorthand, business law, and clerical record keeping. Typing I students learned basic typing skills, such as how to type a business letter, envelopes, and index cards. Typing II students learned more advanced skills, and learned to type at a much faster pace, with fewer mis- takes. Three shorthand classes were offered, and each of the courses taught students better and more accurate methods of dictation. Accounting and clerical record keeping students learned to keep ledgers, and also learned to work on the adding machines, and business law students learned legal procedures, and also acted out court cases. Regardless of the business courses offered, each one taught students a great deal in the business field. Lisa Fulmer
