This is being timed. Debbie, stop looking at your fingers. These quotes can be heard during any typing class at RHS. Typing is a popular elective for many reasons. I took Alphabet Shorthand and Typing last year, comments senior Jayne Dansky, I'm not planning to be a secretary, but I wanted to know how to type for collegef' Other students such as Susan Gelber were thinking of the more im- mediate future when they took typ- ing. I took personal use typing to learn techniques for typing term pa- pers. In addition to AST and PUT, Ran- dallstown offers a variety of other typing classes, including TypingfOf- fice Practice and Cooperative Office Education. Students learn how to type busi- ness letters, invoices, bills and other important papers. They perform drills to improve their speed and ac- curacy. Most students begin on manual typewriters and advance to electric typewriters in the more difficult classes such as Typing II, where more office skills are taught. Job-related classes are valuable to every student. IfI were ever unem- ployed, I could always take a secre- tarial position, comments Rhonda Malmud, and typing is a skill which can open many doors.

Back row: Mrs. Yaste, Jeff Oppenheim, Leslie Na- pier, Mrs. Fauth. 1 IX CMA he time on the ofHce clock is 8:06 and these are the morn- ing announcements: First a singing message from Mrs. Yaste, librarian. The Ram ran back to the 1ibrary,' the Ram ran back to the Iibraryg the Ram ran back to the library to return his overdue library books .... Mrs. Yaste fixes one of the many displays around the school. Library Information age. To meet student demand, li- braries must offer increased research materi- als as well as more fiction books. But expand- ed libraries have space problems. To accomo- date for this problem, libraries put magazines and newspapers on microfilm. Even the card catalogue is now on microfilm. They're so entertaining-when they're not mad at me, quips Mrs. Yaste. And Mrs. Rees says, This is the first school where I've gotten stu- dent response. The librarians began a new policy this year. The library is now strictly an independent study area. I be- lieve firmly that each student should have some place that's quiet so they can study, remarks Mrs. Rees. Don't navy. . . This is typical of Mrs. Yaste's reg- ular performances on the morning announcements. Her entertaining songs are valid evidence that Randallstown's librar- ians, Imogene Yaste and Barbara Rees, are interesting people. Both have been librarians for more than twenty years. Both thoroughly enjoy working with students. The library, nevertheless, remains a cheerful, friendly place. Several plants named after Shakespearean characters brighten the room. Phred, the plant of morning announcement fame, has a special place near the charge desk. Mrs. Yaste and Mrs. Rees are ex- tremely proud of the myriad of mate- rials their library has. They work di- ligently to maintain the condition of books and to diminish the amount of overdue materials. Mrs. Yaste holds report cards until students pay their fines. The excess of overdues overwhelms me. There are 74 people who still haven't picked up their third quarter report cards, she claims. Few things annoy the librarians as much as students who attempt to library sneak out of the library before the bell rings. Mrs. Yaste has invented a way to deter this: I tell them that there are silverfish and bookworms in the moat outside the library cas- tle. So if you have some spare time or want to study in silence, stop by the library and get to know the librar- ians. L1braryf73
