BUSINESS Personal Finance is Added to Business Curriculum Fall of 1973 started out with a bang. Classes were filled with more than an average number of active eager students taking Typing I, II, bookkeeping and business law. Personal finance was add- ed to the business curriculum as a new elective for seniors. A work experience program was also taught in conjunction with the police department. The journalism class is also under the di- rection of the business teacher. The number of students per class beginning the year were Typing I, 14 students, Typing II, 3 students, bookkeeping 12 students, business law 3 students, and journalism 7 students. Then due to schedule changes brought about the ad- justment in curriculum (the reinstate- ment of the mathematics classes) in mid September, the classes lost students. The business courses that were offered were striving to give the students basic entry skills for a general clerical area of work or to prepare them for a higher education. Robert Beitel was the business and journalism teacher. 10, Business

industrial arts INIew Teacher Innovates New Ideas for Shop Projects Eric Leegard was the new teacher of the shop classes. He had a lot of new ideas for projects that the students could do. To do these projects he needed more equipment which the school board granted him permission to get. Mr. Leegard’s main objective was to get students to take something and follow it all the way through rather than take a piece of wood and just hack away at it. Some of the shop classes had to do a little bit of drafting andothers had to do a lot. Shop I worked just about all year on drafting in order to get it right. Also in Shop I Reno Lucas built a safe. Shop II also worked quite a while in drafting. Like Shop I, Shop II had some active eager students who built a project of their own. Rex Lesher made a cartridge shelf; Garth Lucas designed a tool holder; and Tom McDonald made a drafting table and wooden airplane. In Shop III and IV the students rebuilt and painted shop equipment and shop tables. Mike Warrick made a stereo cabinet and cassette cartridge holder. Brad Allred and Albert Hytrek built a boat. Albert Hytrek built a stock rack for a pickup. Albert Shorb made boat stations on a lathe. In metal shop classes the students built metal fireplaces and barbecues. They also repaired miscellaneous motorcycle parts and miscellaneous broken things around the school. In this class Rick White rebuilt a trailer. In girls’ shop class Phyllis Christian made a jewelery box, a pair of mocca- sins, and refinished a chair. Laurie Allred refinished a chair, and also made a jewelery box and a pair of moccasins. 12, Industrial Arts
