New people and new ideas join the Business de- partment. Three new, willing, and eager minds plus Edsel’s six other department teachers make up the staff for students taking business courses this year. Miss Susan Field has just transferred from Fordson, and will be teaching the skills of typing and shorthand. Mr. Charles Lacey, a gradu- ate of Wayne State will be co-sponsor of DECA this year, and Mr. Harvey Cosgrove left the man- agement world to join the business staff at Edsel. Mr. Cosgrove together with Mr. Lacey will be the sponsors of The Other Place. They are plan- ning a calendar of special days to honor each in- dividual class or club, in which items in the store will be discounted for that specific group. The Computer Program is continually being ex- panded and improved since the advent of the use of computer in the 1969-70 year. Realization of a three year curriculum in this area is hoped for by 1971. Miss Susan Field, new to the business department, instructs her all fe- male class in the techniques of shorthand. The ability to listen carefully is a prerequisite for success in shorthand. Senior Marilyn Vincent relaxes for a moment from the strenuous chore of transcribing familiar shorthand phrases, one of the skills needed for any career in the business world.
