On the other side of the hall, imaginative students in the art classes expressed themselves in charcoal, oil paints, pastels, and vvater colors, many of Which brightened the other areas of the building during the year. The energetic students of the business and typing classes kept busy at such tasks as office occupations, bookkeeping, shorthand, and typing.
