7 like Mrs. Levsen; she's potient with Business courses at Roncalli can be classified not only as vocational in nature, but as college prep courses also. College surveys and studies have shown that on a national average, those students who took business courses in high school, particularly typing, have done as well or better than students who concentrated on college prep courses only. (Mr. Toni Long) Phil Schroeder prepares tomorrow's bookkeeping assign- ment following instructor Mr. Lon's lecture. Office practice is a little of everything. Mrs. Levsen gives us something to do, and we do it by individual study. Every two weeks it's something different - a machine or filing or bookkeeping or helping Mrs. Lev- sen with different work. (Peggy Werlinger) Typing I is a class with easy bookwork, but my fin- gers are too uncoordinated and so I am still using the hunt and peck system. (Diane Ellerbusch) My duties in the Roncalli office, which is like a busi- ness course, are: filing, typing report cards, ditto machine, electrostatic photo copier, mailing, placing orders, keeping records. It's like any secretary. (Jean Braun) Business law is a large class with individual projects. Some examples are: Military Affairs, Negligence, and Liabilities. Then we go over them in class. (Jean Brunson) Bookkeeping is either a debit or a credit. (Kathy McGarry) Mr. Fishbach incorporated several helpers this year to record class attendance and tardies. They are: Bonnie Hare, Pat Wolf, Pam Albert, Pan Lindner, Kathy Harder, and Lora Hauck. Missing: Becky Rovang. 20

 It's just o bunch of Letters • Debbie Woods Frank Sieh and geometry teacher, Mr. Elroy Cruen- wald, listen to an explanation of an angle by sopho- more Kathy Engelhart. Math and science aren’t really subjects for the brains only. These courses can be related to other fields like gardening. You need biology to recognize the plant and use chemical formulas to help plants grow. (JoAnn Valentine) In chemistry we’re working on chemical equations. Something must be wrong because I actually know what's going on! (Karen Piatz) We're studying cells and stuff under the microscope and parts of the human body. It's very interesting to look through the microscope. We're growing our own Euglena and Paramecia. (Jan Novak) Science is a body of knowledge, factual or theoretical, motivated by curiosity, and is a process of relating facts and concepts. (Mr. James Hauck) It's just a bunch of letters. (Debbie Woods) Geometry is the oldest and most basic math. It teaches students to think logically. (Mr. Elroy Gruenwald) When you mix me and Mr. Hauck, you get an inert sub- stance-my brain. (Jerry Eckrich) General science helps the student better understand the world in which he lives. (Mr. Don Fischbach) I don't see how anyone can live in this world without chemistry. (Sr. Sheila Crampton) A camera focused through the door window catches a candid shot of one general science class, taught by Mr. Don Fischback. There are still new things to discover. (Mr. Dan Lipp) It takes a good guess to get the answer. (Ann Lanham) Karen Piatz takes a reading of the balance to deter- mine the mass and density of a substance in chemistry class.

me and good - lookin' too • Jim Charron Brian Schumacher figures a tentative answer for an adding machine problem in office practice. Typing I students, taught by Sr. Delphine Lehner, exhibit their interest in the class by preparing before the class begins. Putting knowledge of sec- retarial work to use in her job at the Internal Reven- ue Service is Mary Beth Kervin. 21
