' 1: Bus1ness The main objectives of the Business de- partment are to prepare the students for either business school or employment in the business World after high school. There are two divisions of study in the business curriculum - secretarial and cleri- cal. The secretarial students receive basic and advanced training in shorthand and typing. Clerical students study bookkeeping as well. The Hrst year in the business course offers basic subjects for all students. Included are English I, World History, Business Mathe- matics, Junior Business Training, and Phy- sical Education. In the sophomore year, the actual busi- ness training begins. Students receive basic training in Bookkeeping I and Typing I, taken in addition to the other required sub- jects - English II, Biology, and Physical Education. Junior business students advance even further and decide definitely on a secretarial or clerical career. These students are also required to take English III, United States History, Typing II, and Physical Education. By the time senior year arrives, students have followed a well-rounded program of studies. Secretarial students receive further training in shorthand and transcription. They also learn to use various office ma- chines, such as the calculating and adding machines, the dictaphone, and the duplica- tors. In their fourth year, the clerical stu- dents receive training in general ofiice pro- cedures, Business Law, and Salesmanship. In addition, both groups are required to take English IV and Physical Education. It is hoped that upon graduation, these students will be well qualified to obtain an excellent position in the business World. 31 ,JF if Sandy Coates, Mary Lou Pis- citello, and Kathy Skolonis work out problems on the calculating machines.
