Commercial Courses Yield Basic Business Skills JUNE SCHULTZ BS—Bucknell BARBARA WHEELER BS—U. of Ca. American business is growing today at a pace which is unequaled in the past. With this unmatched growth comes an appropriate demand for young men and women who are versed in all the various fields of business. There is an urgent need for good typists, stenographers, secretaries, and other office personnel. Richmond's Business department offers a variety of courses for the training of those who plan business vocations after graduation. Students may include typing, shorthand, accounting, and business machine training in their schedules. For the conscientious student the commercial courses at Richmond lead to an excellent background in all of the basic business skills. Mrs. Schultz’s typing students take a time test to determine typing accuracy. 28

Sixth period Driver’s Ed. class makes a “pit stop” during a track run. ROBERT BANKS BA—U. of Ga. Teenage Drivers Learn Courtesy And Safety Rules Of The Road Beware of low-flying cars! This could be the war cry of ARC’s driver education class, hut it isn’t. These students learned not to fly low and why they should exercise caution and courtesy behind the wheel. The course consists of classes on the various phases of driving and the practical experience of piloting Richmond’s drivers education car both in traffic and around and around the oval track next to the football field. Drivers Education is one course that is beneficial not only to the students but the entire community as these young people demonstrate their knowledge of the automobile and display their courtesy.

Southern Shop Program Renovated During The Summer The large room which once housed Richmond’s woodshop has taken on a new look. During the summer the shop was completely modernized. Nearly all new tools and equipment were installed and areas for the study of metal working, electricity, and power mechanics were introduced to supplement the original course in wood working. The addition of this new equipment considerably broadens the shop program at Richmond, making it possible to instruct each of the four essentially different types of shop work during one school year. 27

Library Helps Develop An Interest In A Variety Of Books Kathryn Brown makes sure she has at least five books listed on her bibliography. Whether you refer to it as la bibliotheque, bibliotheca, or la biblioteca, the library at Richmond is an indispensable aid to all students. Miss Bailie and Mrs. Hebert spend a great deal of their time helping students find the books they want, showing them where to go for special information, and working so that one and all may develop an active interest in books of all types. We are greatly indebted to these two ladies for showing us that a whole new world may be found in the storehouse of books available to us in our library. Mrs. Hebert explains to library assistants Richard Knapp and Irvin Guy a point about the Dewey Decimal System. 29
