 Art 11 The class is making mobiles and studying monochromatic heads. A mobile such as you see hanging from the window must be handled with care. The purpose of the head study is to show the proportion of the eyes, ears, etc., to the head. Besides this work pupils engaged in elementary ceramics. MUSIC 9 Mr. Berger looks on, or should we say lis- tens?, while a group of Ninth grade boys, accom- panied by Kay Pfautz, sings one of their favorite songs. What is it, however, the boys are singing? Everyone seems to be enjoying the meter and the message of the lyric. Besides singing the Ninth grade music class also listens to classical records. MUSIC 7 A group of Seventh grade girls sings “Ciri- biribin”, accompanied by Eileen Tobias. With classes such as this, these pupils should become good senior chorus members in the future. Sing, girls! There is relaxation in this harmonious deed. Singing is one art in which all people do the same thing at the same time. ART 9 It should be easy for these students to cos- tume a play for an assembly. Some pupils are painting costumes with water colors, while others are doing sketching. Mrs. Kohl is keeping a scrutinizing eye on them as they do this work. More close observation is necessary when it’s time to clean up at the end of a period. Seventeen

I'W SCJ c ommercia tc our e BOOKKEEPING 11-12 “Is this a debit or a credit?” asks Paul Miller as Miss Moyer is ready to offer him as- sistance. Other class members are doing the same problems. When you see green work sheets, you know pupils are doing Bookkeeping, which re- quires accurate and neat work. SHORTHAND 11-12 “Write in Shorthand the brief forms—I, good, be, been, but, for, am, them, all—” says Miss Moyer to Jeanette Schaeffer and Marilyn Bal- thaser. The other class members are carefully eyeing the work of these girls to sec whether or not they are correct. When one is in a hurry, these ‘hooks’ are handy. Deciphering them is another story. TYPING 12 “Careful now. Look out! Don’t hit the wrong key,” warns Miss Moyer as she watches Betty Koenig test her typing skill. Betty’s classmates are also busily engaged in improving their speed and accuracy in this course. How discouraging it is to find for every error, you lose two points! Oh, well! That’s part of the technique. TYPING 11 If you can type without looking at the key- board, you’re good. Of course typing takes a lot of practice. Jeanette Schaeffer is trying her best to type by the sense of touch. Miss Moyer is always willing to give tips. But the juniors find there is more to the course than where one looks. Speed is a sure necessity before one can call herself an accomplished typist. Sixteen

2), 'iuer (Education DRIVER EDUCATION Driver Education!............Where’s the car? These students are studying theory. The machines are a means of testing visual acuity, depth per- ception, hand steadiness, braking distance, and reaction time. The theory of driving must be studied before the pupils actually get behind the wheel of a car. With Gerald Miller behind the wheel and Mr. Matthew beside him, a part of the class are viewing the measuring of Gerald’s reaction time and his braking distance. What if Gerald’s re- action time is slow? Will he be denied a driver’s license? This may be the thought of many a class member as he nervously awaits his turn. “Now watch for the red light; then brake!” orders Mr. Matthew to James Gehris as Bernice Luckenbill operates the signals of the machine that tests reaction time and braking distance. Waiting for their turn are: Marvin Kulp, Earl Bond, and Frederick McQuate. This knowledge should aid the pupils to be drivers with good judgment, a requisite especially in times of emergencies. “Line the cars side by side!” directs Mr. Matthew to Jane Klopfenstein as she prepares to start the depth perception test. In this test Jane must line up the cars until she thinks they are side by side. What was your score, Jane? Results of this test can be most thought-provoking to anyone who already drives a car.
