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.

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

the soul's own speech. A no ny mou: Problems of scheduling, lack of interest on the part of boys and sports interference are difficulties felt this year in chorus. In addition, many people find themselves so involved in other activities that it is necessary for them to drop chorus. (Sr. Jean Marie Farrell) How can you sing with a dry voice? (Carla Gefre) Music isn't just songs, but the feelings, emotions, and actions of a person. (Lois Ryan) Band doesn't get enough support from the students. (Mark Meyers) The band also supports its team and tries to inspire and excite them and at the same time entertain the fans. The band has an awesome responsibility and at the same time a marvelous opportunity to deliver a pleas- ing message to the ear. (Mr. Bob Downie) For the common things of every day God gave men speech in the common way, For the deeper things men think and feel God gave poets words to reveal, For the heights and depths no word can reach God gave men music, the soul's own speech. (Anonymous) I also feel that music should have greater emphasis in the elementary grades and Junior high so that interest will carry over into high school. (Sr. Jean Marie Farrell) It's something to be proud of. More kids should be in band. (Cathy Johns) Sounds of jazz and pop spring from the stage band under the direction of Mr. Bob Downie. Chorus gets a bad deal. I think, though, that Sr. Jean Marie asserts herself enough that few people skip chorus or plan meetings during chorus time. (Mary Martha Dunhom) I don't think anyone really realizes just how much we put into band. Until someone sits down there with us in the band room for an hour a day practicing, they have no right to knock us. 1 think the band deserves a joy jug all our own! (Karen Piatz) Music expresses my school spirit at games . . . da, da, da, da, da, ... (Mark Rieger) Music involves about one- fourth of the student body. I feel it should have a full period everyday as band does - but even band has not had this schedule for many years. (Sr. Hean Marie Farrel) 22
