UFFIEE PRHETIUE The office practice course is designed to train students in correct office procedures, to aid the students in becoming familiar with and skilled in performing duties which they will encounter in a business ofhce. Stu- dents receiving credit in office practice are assigned to work in the central ofiice of the school or with a specific teacher during one hour of the day. It is the responsibility of these students to work with attendance records, type letters going out to the public, prepare reports and announcements, dupli- cated reports, file, and in general, be capable of doing any work coming into their hands. A background of business subjects is nec- essary in most cases for those entering office practice, with typing ability generally re- quired. Others without business training serve as receptionists and answer telephone calls into the school. Supervision is by the office practice teacher, with direct assign- ment of work by the school Secretary in the central office. This is the group which gives the first impression of Burroughs School to the pub- lic. Guidance is given in the development of personality, emphasizing quailties which will aid the students to succeed in school and on the job. Page Fifty-fi ve

PHUTU EL Hi Without the unceasing help of Mr. Shortt and the photo group, the '48 EL BURRO staff could not have accomplished the high quality of graphic details in this year's annual. Photography is the most import- ant aspect in publishing a successful yearbook, and the editors and staff realized this fully when the first plans for the annual were made. The editors and staff of the '48 EL BURRO Wish to fully thank Mr. Shortt and his photo group for their marvelous cooperation, which we are sure has improved your yearbook considerably.
