Mr. Rohn consults with a beginning typing pupil on proper typing techniques. New class added; lab class revised For the first time a clerical lab for prospec- tive business employees was introduced. The lab gave the non-shorthand student an oppor- tunity to apply all former business training to a business-type situation. Nine girls enrolled in the two-hour secre- tarial lab. Three years of planned scheduling are necessary for this class. The course pre- pared future secretaries in business tech- niques. In other business classes, bookkeeping, business law, clerical records, sales, short- hand, and typing, pupils learned that patience and practice are two rules a business student never forgets. Second year typist, Darlene Bator, concentrates on accuracy to complete her job with no errors. 20

Students who had successful practice sessions, and a better than average class record received a stamp or waiver on their cards. This means they went directly into the “driver ' s seat without a state road test. “Adjust your seat, check your mirror, fasten your seat belt,” was typical driver ' s education jargon heard in all driver ' s education courses. Mr. Stokes, the instructor, showed films illus- trating how health, sleep, alcohol, and drugs affect driving directly. Rick Roberts shows how to “buckle up for safety.
