Margot Fletcher: Happiness is . . . not losing your balance. Robert Feldman: Venture forth, before the dawn has time to change its mind, and soar above the clouds to find your golden triumph.” (S. Wynnewood) Debbie Holloway John Hegl: Whatever man can conceive mentally, he can bring into material- ization.” Joyce Shapiro (Business Department Chairwoman) Business Education This year the Business Department has expanded to include new faculty members, new furniture, and new courses. Students interested in law were able to take “Con- temporary Legal Problems,” a business elective examining both relevant and un- usual legal situations. Typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping, standard business courses, were as popular as ever, provid- ing a strong foundation for students con- sidering careers in the business world. The Department also sponsored a student em- ployment service, HIRE. (Help Improve Relevant Education). HIRE is run by stu- dents, and is especially valuable as it gives the community a chance to be directly involved with Schreiber. In this way the Business Department orients students to their chosen careers. 25

Mathematics As the courses offered by the Math Department get harder and harder, many students look for extra help out- side the classroom. To solve the prob- lem, the Math Department has imple- mented a tutorial program composed of student “teachers of advanced math courses and those who seek extra help. Both the tutor and student benefit from the program: the tutor, by getting credit from his faculty ad- visor; and the student, by hopefully receiving all the help he needs. The faculty of the Math Department are optimistic that the program will boost student interest in math, as well as students’ grades. Valerie Seiner: “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” (Wharton) Ernie Meyer: “Be very suspicious if you don’t use everything that is given. Milton Ryeck: “The more things change, the more they become the same. Now, isn’t that the limit?” John Weickel: Comfort yourself; you would not seek me if you had not found me.’’ (Blaise Pascal) Joseph Pichkur: Be careful when reasoning in- directly not to reduce yourself to absurdity. 26
