No matter what walk of life Quincy students might choose, one of the commercial subjects offered at Quincy Community High School should prove beneficial. Bookkeeping, short- hand, secretarial practice, and two years of typing are available; all are taught by Mrs. Nell Volkert. Although commercial subjects are not required, classes have been filled to capacity in recent years. The expanded com- mercial course facilities in the new high school include an enlarged typing room, a bigger bookkeeping and shorthand room, and for the first time a room for office machines and secretarial practice materials.

Freshmen intently watch a science experiment performed in one of the three new science classrooms at Quincy High School. Mr. Orin Chalker, in- structor, is demonstrating changes in electrical current conducted through different metals immersed in solution. A course in science and a course in mathematics (either general math or algebra) were required of all fresh- men in Quincy Community Schools in 1961-62. In addition, science elec- tives offered in later high school class years included biology, physics, and chemistry. Elective math courses were advanced algebra, geometry, and trigonometry-solid geometry. Rapid changes in modjern society offer challenges in the mathematics- science areas particularly. Emphases in these courses were on problem- solving techniques and scientific method as well as upon specific in- formation and practical application. In addition to these courses, these three teachers were also partially responsible for the 14 junior high school mathematics and science sec- tions. Science an f Jltai i MR. ORIN CHALKER, A. B.. M.
