Business Education Business Classes Offer Many Opportunities One of the many educational opportun- ities offered at Edsel Ford is that of the business courses. In these classes, which consist of co-operative training, book- keeping. distributive education, typing, record keeping, shorthand, and data processing, the students have the oppor- tunity to become acquainted with and to learn more facts and concepts that are needed in the business world. Of the various business courses, the one which is most popular among seniors is the co-operative training class, organ- ized and supervised by Mr. Charles Steen and Mr. Richard Feusse. In this course the students have the opportunity to learn the responsibilities of having and keeping a job. while attending school for three to four hours per day. Another excellent opportunity avail- able at Edsel Ford is the Distributive EducatiQn class, which enables students to acquire on-the-job training while working in the T-Bird Tunnel, the school store.

English Humanities Humanities Broaden Student Horizons When Edsel Ford began twentv-five years ago. the newest and most unique aspect of the school’s curriculum had to have been the humanities course. The humanities is a program which enlightens the students'knowledge of the world around them. It enables the students to better appreciate the many rewarding qualities in life which many times remain unnoticed, such as the world history of art and music and how they enrich everyday lives. When one has completed the human- ities course, it is inevitable that they will have gained a respect and knowledge for the fine arts. A new and useful asset given to the school by the graduating class of 1979 is an audio-visual machine. This machine has three functions: it can record tele- vision programs, local productions can be made for this machine, and commercial productions may also be bought and played on the audio-visual. The English Humanities program in the future will benefit from this generous gift. This machine will make it possible to record programs concerning the human- ities to be shown to classes at a later date Many other programs at Edsel Ford will benefit from the audio-visual.also.
