Classes give students background for future ypewriters clicking N computers humming and adding machines to taling. This may sound like an important city office ibut, in actu- ality, it describes, Glenbrook South's business education hall. Y The memory typewriter, the new addition to the department, is more of a computer-typewrit- er than anything else, according to Mrs. Gail Alter, instructional supervisor of Business Educa- tion. The machine is for copying large amount of the same item. The operator types all the cor- rections in the -original draft, then he pushes a button and the process is repeated.

I feel that the courses we offer and the equip- ment we use to train students on are very up-to-date, and we are doing a very effective job for training entry-level careers, she concluded. Driver Education One of the things a modern American teenager looks for- ward to is getting his driver's li- cense. Before that day arrives, however, he usually takes both classroom tmandatoryl and be- hind the wheel training. In addition to teaching driv- ing, the department, this year, has emphasized other things. Due to rapid increase of gas prices, fuel conservation has tak- en a front seat in the curricu- lum. Also, because of inflation, Glenbrook South found itself with a driver's ed. car shortage in October. A lot of dealers had to drop out of the free-loan pro- gram because the banks that were financing the cars were charging very high interest rates. Eventually, the school found other dealers to supply the cars for them. Mr. Ed Baker, instructional su- pervisor of Driver's Ed., feels that the department is accom- plishing its goal. I think we're doing a good job and turning out students who have good driving techniques. MR. LARRY FAULKNER explains something to junior Mike Lillig during Consumer Ed. class.
