Thirty stu- dents with above average records in mathematics were chosen to take an examination for use in rating and im- proving our Math Department. Business courses last year included typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and general business. Since many graduates enter business fields each year, these courses are extremely important. The Art Department saw a great deal of variety in its first year at Thomas Dale. Evidences of art work were often seen on displays throughout the school. The study of color and texture also was included in this course. Mrs. Mayo watches Judy Kidd practice her typing lesson. 22
