BUSINESS EDUCATION PREPARES The story of the metamorphosis from a ‘“‘hunt and pecker’’ to an accomplished typist is a tale of strug- gling, of exasperation, and hopefully of final success. Potential secretaries and the college-bound hover over typewriters in an attempt to master their dexter- ity for future needs. A similar story might be recounted in the shorthand classes. Students earnestly strive to instill into their brains the proper directions for uncooperative fingers manipulating uncooperative pencils to manufacture seemingly legible symbols. Business machines offer students the opportunity to practice for future vocations. All other courses in the business education program prepare and qualify stu- dents for future employment or some phase of their personal life. SONNA K. HOWE University of Idaho B.A., M.S.

Li7, ART STUDENTS NOTABLE A year passes...a year in which skills are bettered ...a year in which Wilson is again distinguished by its outstanding success in art competition. Courses offered include general and commercial art, and pottery, for the beginner; the more advanced student can participate in an art seminar. This year, an art understanding class was added to the curricu- lum, giving students a background in art history. The publicity class is responsible for the production of posters which promote attendance at all school functions. A year passes... a year of hard work and increasing knowledge...a year in which each student, talented or not, finds his place in the art room. Intricate finishing touches are put on modernistic sculpture by sophomore John Carter.
