BUSINESS EDUCATION Clerical skills improve job opportunity, home work grades AHS business education department serves a three-fold purpose for its students. Some learn skills for future employment in civil service, industry, business and education. Others are able to earn their way while attending college, and still others use their training for such per- sonal needs as academic assignments, and busi- ness letters. Those enrolled in beginning computer pro- gramming gain immediate benefits in space age college courses and in industrial vocations. INCOME TAX forms will have no fears for students who studied the principles of preparing returns in the clerical practice class of Mr. Nick Wolfe. MISS GLADE CLEMONS, M B A., attended Central State College, West Texas State, and OU. She teaches Business English and Typing I MR. EARL HERRON, B.S., attended Central State College in Edmond, Oklahoma. He is director of the Neighborhood Youth Corps for five counties with headquarters at AHS.
