Imagery of Imagination . . . ’’Easel does it! Elizabeth Kyle Art Art Service Committee Serving to expand each student’s awareness of the second and third dimensional visual arts and the mechanisms of creativity, the Fine Arts depart¬ ment is a training center for the major visual disciplines of drawing, painting, sculpture and design rather than in a proliferation of specialized areas. Media such as these emphasize both mastery of technical processes and the ability to conceive and execute independent projects. Traditional values are the starting point in a student’s search for meaning but it is his use of inherited knowledge which is of prime importanc e. Development of independent judgment and a sense of value is inherent in this approach. 26

Primary goals of our Business department are to provide the student with a knowledge of office procedures, salesmanship, and general organization. General courses, including typing and shorthand, are offered to the student who is not a business major but wishes to develop the necessary skills. For those who are studying in this area, however, many specialized courses in business education are offered, including secretarial and office practice, the use of various types of business machines, personal qualities in salesmanship, merchandising, and retail problems. Distributive Education is a unique and commendable course offered in our school providing selected students with the opportunity of spending part of the day studying at school and the remainder “on the job” training. Under careful supervision, the student is able to actually experience what certain jobs entail, and whether the area is suitable for the individual’s needs. Business is vital for today’s living and the Business department works towards pre¬ paring our students for their future in the world.
