Billie R. West BS ISTC Commerce MS ISTC Commerce, Social Studies Sponsor, Yearbook - Newspaper Pour areas make up the curriculum of the business education department- typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, and office practice. This all begins with typing for the sophomores who want to prepare themselves for lucrative positions in the business field, although typing is also taken by students who just want to know how to type. Then for the juniors come debits, credits, ledgers, journals, accounts, and HOMEWORK from the shorthand and bookkeeping classes. But with all of this, they end the year with the ability to keep a set of books, figure income tax, and improve their coming future. The last course given to the seniors is office practice. From business letters to the adding machine, then the dictaphone, they do it all. Then, after graduation, they are prepared to face the business world. COMMERCE 10

ART Hr. Jack Grimes S.B.--Art Social Studies, Indiana State Teachers College M.S.--Education, Indiana State Teachers College LaPorte County Teacher for the past nine years. Art, beauty, peace, and happiness go hand in hand. This statement in itself justifies an art program. As is common to the spoken or written work, art has no national boundaries or racial barriers. For the past two years Rolling has had an art program in the high school so that the students could be exposed to this universal media of communications. The two art classes did sketching, copper tooling, paper mache, and just plain drawing. As each important event of the school year approach?, Mr. Grimes, and his art classes are called upon for posters and decorations. Above, the art class displays some of its 'hristmas creations.

With toe final pages of the Rolling Log on the way to the press, the staff was able to give a sign of relief. They had spent long hours of careful planning in order to develop the best annual ever published by Rolling Prairie seniors. There had to be pictures taken, stories written, pages set up, and typing, but Mr. West managed to guide us to complete a successful edition. t YEARBOOK STAFF NEWSPAPER STAFF Headlines and deadlines became popular words to students who helped publish the school newspaper. This was the first year for a newspaper staff to have the opportunity of meeting daily and receiving credit for their work. Students could always be seen during second period in the halls, gathering facts for a story. Thus, the Bulldog Barks was published bi-weekly featuring many new columns. 11
