Paying Lincoln Teacher Association dues—Duane Schulz, Mrs. Mildred Richards, and Mrs. Mabel Jacoby. and Practical Skills of Earning a Living Business minded young men and women are greatly needed in the hustle and bustle of today’s fast moving business world. Such skills as typing, bookkeeping and shorthand are in great demand. At Northeast, students in the clerical and stenographic department may take typing, bookkeeping, clerical train- ing, shorthand, or salesmanship. Students who are earning a business major at LN take a field trip each year through local banks and businesses to increase their knowl- edge of their field.

Sweet harmony—Mrs. Velma Snook and Mrs. Pearl Lowell. It'll be pretty when it's fin- ished— Marsha Bookwalter. Music, and Art Enrich Students’ Lives, In a sense, students taking one of the fine arts courses offered at Northeast are studying a language, for both art and music are surely among the most beautiful and universal ways in which persons are able to commuinicate with one another. The sounds of young voices can be heard drifting through the halls of the school every morning during first period when choir meets. Later in the day, these voices are replaced by those of members of girls glee, boys glee, triple trio, and mixed chorus. Boys’ and girls’ choruses are of- fered as vocal music fare in junior high. One hour of concentrated practice every- day, out-of-town trips, and concerts are in store for all members of the LN band and orchestra. Most of these players have gained their musical experience in prep band and prep orchestra, junior high groups. General and Adanced Art are offered to senior high students. In these classes, art appreciation is taught and good art prin- ciples are put into practice. Preparation for these classes is made in seventh, eighth, and ninth grade art classes. These fellows have the will to win—Art Bauer. 25

Don't be scared, young fellow—Bob Vaughn, Roger Martin, and Lloyd Schmadeke. Are Not Neglected. Putting the final touches on a me- chanical drawing—Harold Murphy. Researcher, nutritionist, chemist, and physicist, besides the homemaker and teach- er, are all people who can come under the classification of a home economist. Home economics courses at LN became more fam- ily-centered this year with the emphasis on the development of individual living in the family, instead of the acquisition of skills. As the new agriculture program started its second year, it became apparent that it is much superior to and more flexible than the previous program. By placing college prep students in one-hour ag classes and trade students in two-hour ag classes, the abilities and needs of both groups are more adequately met. With this new program LN agriculture department has grown to become one of the largest in the state. In making the various items that come out of the industrial arts department, stu- dents learn not only the use of tools and machines, general properties of specific ma- terials, development of craftsmanship and creativeness, and knowlege of design, but also others, available most easily from for- mal training. Cooperation and strict observ- ance of safety rules is vital for use of these skills in industry and as a hobby to fill lei- sure time. By working together, students al- so acquire qualities of leadership and gain fellowship. Successful projects undertaken this year included the spinning of metal, in a process similar to the molding of clay, and the second city-wide industrial arts exhibit. Together, they can make almost anything—Boyd Thompson, Evan Boiler, and Watson Coleman.
