Business Department expands preparation for changing World The Business Department prepares the student for life in the business world. said Business Teacher Roy Beikman. The Business Department expanded its curriculum with business core. recordkeeping. business math, business law. accounting, typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand. We are an asset to the teachers and the administration, as well as the stu- dents in helping to type and duplicate required items. such as reports, the stu- dent handbook. and many other neces- sary items. said Typing Teacher Enid Norby. Typing pool aides from the typing classes were available to assist teachers with their typing. Several new materials and equip- ment were added to the department. Typing classes are using a new system of recorded tapes to help students over- come watching their hands. Two new IBM selectrics and elec- tronic display calculators were fur- nished to the classes. Old electric type- writers were refurnished. COE. Cooperative Office Education. gave students on the job experience in office skills. Seniors. who had two years of typing and preferably shorthand and bookkeeping. were eligible to find work through COE.

Soelal Studles needs one teacher Since the beginning of civilization. his- tory has been accumulating in numerous books and is constantly being fed an abundance of new facts and events. Teaching additional historic knowledge has been made difficult. by a shortage of history teachers. thus creating a lack of new classes offered. Mr. Charles Ludwig stated. We're hoping to include more elective classes such as 'Women in History' and the 'Life and Times' of Millard Fillmore' but required courses seem to be keeping this from happening. Mr. Ludwig also feels that history keeps students up on current events. tells them how to participate in the government and economy. plus shows stu- dents about man's relation to his environ- ment as well as to each other. Overall. the main goal that the History Department has set for themselves. is to make students aware of everyday life and what comes with it. lV'l FEEL OUR social studies classes help to make the students aware of everyday life. said Mr. Jeff Moynes. Zl MRS. CELESTE WISEMAN. American history and American problems teacher with Mrs. Gina Karloff. business instructor, 3t SOME FUTURE PLANS for our department include making geography required and adding world history as an elective. commented Mr. Charles Ludwig.
