Typing paper, adding machine and lots of liquid paper all come in handy when Learning tool of the trade erhaps the most clamorous venue of the three main halls was the third hall. The ever-present clattering of over one hundred typists per hall made hallway discussions difficult and mere concentration impossible. Tension had free reign over the typing, shorthand, office practice accounting classes as stressful situations abounded. Yet, all the frustrations were worthwhile, as typed sheets in college went for roughly 32.00 per page. Fully loaded business courses were no novelty since thirty-three percent of the student body engaged in them. Largely from these vocational classes Preparing to work on a typing assignment, Terry Davenport fseniorj checks to make sure the paper is straight. Typing is also practiced in Mrs. Earney's shorthand class. Photo by Tony Saldana Cand the student body as a wholej, thirty percent of all graduating seniors entered the business world directly. A pioneering project which strove to quicken typing skills and improve accuracy was piloted in selected typing classes. The Cortez Peters Championrbip Typing drill book, which was written by Peters, the world champion typist who clocks in at two hundred words per minute, identified the specific weaknesses of the typist and concentrated on rectifying these certain problems. We are constantly searching for innovative methods to improve both speed and accuracy, explained Miss Joyce Cook Cfacultyj, business teacher. As an instructor using the Peters method, Miss Cook stated that the results have been exciting! - Katie Eklund

f.Q,aa Looking for an assignment due, Gary Engasser fsophomorel checks to see if he has the correct paper. Algebra was one of the several recommended math courses for college-bound students. Photo by Tony Sandana. jffl Setting out to solve new Probleihl hallenges to some people are a way of life. They set out to solve new problems and overcome setbacks. Then again, some people avoid challenges and break into a cold sweat when so much as the smallest of problems arises. Among the more challenging of the courses offered to us were the variations of the sciences, health and endless math classes. Many students took these difficult courses in preparation for college or a high technology career. Beginning with biology and advancing to physiology, chemistry, oceanography, psychology and sociology, students worked their way up the ladder toward success. Though it must be true that there are others who sat in math classes and felt as though they had slipped into a twilight zone of binomials, trinomials and quadratic equations, the majority of students were able to cope. There were any number of classes designed to encourage the best of math scholars to keep progressing. Unlike some classes, missing a week of one of these courses could mean a year of unending confusion. However, most students struggled for breezedj through which ever the case may have been and went on to brave the next level. They aimed for the top and then worked to achieve their goals. -julie Richards I Under Close Scrutiny 77
