Fine Arts, Library, Add Dimensions As the year elapsed, the band, art and library department contributed more to the students each day. The band performed at all the home games with fine pre-game and half-performances. Besides the annual winter concert the band performed at | | various schools in the state including a reading session at M.S.U. As in other years, the Art department has a display of stu- dent work in the show-case. This year the room has many new additions on the walls. The Library has broadened its field with new and better paper back books. The Library is at the disposal of the student body any hour of the school day. Mrs. Gobble is shown going through a magazine for ma terial for the veritcal files. | Mrs. Montei is showing her school spirit by | wearing a Reese Homecoming pin. Miss Smith and Mr. Cheney have quite a bit to talk about since their departments coincide with each other. 16

Business Courses Prepare for Jobs Learning business terms . . . transcribing shorthand notes... discovering the correct way to answer the telephone . . . typing mailable letters . . . finding how to place long distance calls... keeping record of stock . . . taking inventory .... These were just a few examples of what every day was filled with in the bus- iness classes at Reese High School. Not only did the enrolled stu- dent participate in the different every-day duties of the business world, but they also learned such activities as the proper organi- zation and administration of offices. Many classes were offered this year such as typing, short- hand, and clerical block. In addition, a new class taught by Miss Hardy was added—retailing. At first an elective for co-op stu- dents, this course was expanded to include many other interested people. Mrs. Rehman and Miss Freriks help each other on the different tests in the business classes. Miss Hardy checks over a retailing test. “Faculty, faculty, don’t be shy .... OH, FORGET IT!” 18
