getting keyed up for another perfor- mance in typing. Tony Asbury, Linda Repinec, and Judy Keating work on accounting. Kelly Dietrich sits back for a mo- ment's rest before jumping into another shorthand assignment. An ambitious shorthand student practices by writing the school song. During the last weeks of the second quarter, accounting students worked on business transactions for the Stereotronics Co. (a fictious company). Here Mike Tomandl and David Narverud compare answers.

The '78-'79 school year brought many new teachers to St. X. Among them was Mrs. Maurer, a first year teacher, who replaced Mrs. Eikenberry in the Business Department. She taught six classes: two general busi- ness, two typing, one short- hand class, and one account- ing class. General Business, offered twice a day to mainly sopho- mores , taught students about the economic and business function of our nation. Stu- dents worked out of text- books , listened to guest speakers on career opportu- nities , and took a field trip to the bank. Typing students started the school year off by learning where homerow was. As they advanced, they learned simple words, and para- graphs . By the end of the year, they were typing busi- ness reports. Shorthand was a class students had to stay on top of. Students learned that the scribble lines they wrote did make sentences, and that shorthand was interesting. Is the accounts payable ledger a separate book? What's a debit? These were a few of the questions one would often hear coming from the 14 seniors who took accounting. They found it to be a complex subject involv- ing a lot of ma' and reason- ing. A very attentive Phil Mudd looks up innocently after an exhausting timed writing.

Problems . . . Problems . . . Four math classes were taught this year by Miss Sat- terlee. Geometry was added to the curriculum in place of Algebra II; but Tim Vuono took Algebra II independently during the geometry hour. Algebra I continued to be the largest class, consisting mostly of freshmen. It had twice as many students as any other math class. Gen- eral math was offered as an individualized instruction course, in which the stu- dents worked at their own rate. Advanced math pre- pared the seniors for college math courses by reinforcing algebra skills and emphasiz- ing trigonometry. Business math, taught by Sister Frederic, applied math to the basics of busi- ness. This helped the stu- dents realize what to expect in the business world. Sophie Brawner, Terry Cordova, Greg Bantugan and Mike Tomandl ponder over their advanced math problems as Miss Satterlee watches. 5+4= S,6,7,8,9. Chris Hulett fig- ures out the answer with the help of his fingers.
