Getting Down To Business Whose business is it? Anyone who took a business course found the answer to this question. At any given time during the school day, students could be seen busily striking at keys on typewriters. As usual, typing was the most popular business course offered. Other courses included shorthand and office practice. Keypunch was not offered due to a lack of teachers. During the school day, other students worked in part- time jobs in secretarial areas both in public offices and our own Administration office. 1.

Language Merger Lewis’ foreign language students had parties in the various language classes. One would see taco parties with extra-hot sauce for daredevils in Spanish I A’s, cheese and eclair sampling in French I A’s, or Virgil and Caesar festivities in Latin IA’s. The parties always enlightened student’s views on a foreign language because of the different customs followed. During Easter vacation, Miss Hall, Miss Brandon, and Miss Kinsey, each took groups of students to tour Italy, France, and Spain respectively. These trips were planned early and proved to he very pleasurable. The Lewis’ foreign language department met with the Glenvar foreign language department to discuss and plan Salem High’s foreign language curriculum. Included courses are: basic courses in French, Latin, German, and Spanish, with additional mini-courses in vocabulary and culture. The new school’s foreign language department will offer a broader study of the languages. 4 5 3 1. Virgil’s birthday party is a success in Latin IV. 2.

D.E. Does It Right! Distributive Education I students concentrated on learning marketing procedures of various types of businesses, and received backgrounds in self-analysis and personal income. Students of D.E. II and III were given the opportunity to enter into a world of new experiences by working outside of school. They received one credit for their class work and one credit for working on the job. The jobs for D.E. students were arranged through a cooperative working program between the school and distributive businesses of the community. Through this program students were placed in retail, wholesale, and service businesses in areas of the Roanoke Valley ranging from Tanglewood Mall and West Salem Square to downtown Roanoke. 1.
