BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The Business Department, under the direction of Mrs. Williams and Mr. Boutwell, is one of the fine opportunities available to DeWitt High School students. To be schooled in these curriculum areas is equal to having taken a giant step forward in prepara- tion for your future life ex- periences. Regardless of wheth- er you are confronted with the necessity of typing a 10 page report, balancing your check- book, or making computer en- tries, the skills learned in our Business Department will prove to be of tremendous value. .J -2 140 f-aaa!

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION Random House Dictionary de- fines academic as learned or scholarly but lacking in world- liness, common sense, or proc- ticality. We are fortunate to have three instructors in our in- dustrial and vocational educa- tion department that provide us with instruction in subjects that are very practical, require the development of our common sence, and worldlike in that they prepare us for the world of work in which we will all soon find ourselves. Visable many places around DeWitt High School are the tangable evidences of the learning which takes place in these non-academic classes. Whether it is the Panther on the front of the building, the finely tuned auto that gets us where we want to go, the repaired gheto blaster that can again shatter a wine glass, the printed program for the 1985 com- mencement, the design and construction of a bed or gun cabinet or the completion of a mechanical drawing of a ma- chinist vise. All of these are the evidence of the skills and under- standings of the students that are enrolled in our industrial education classes. m.,.,,..-3 U ,vgyga -fsr 142
