Whether students plan to specialize in of- tice or technical work, the knowledge that was gained through various subjects such as typing, shorthand, business law, bookkeeping and general business will help them ob- tain positions in today's business world.

The advanced shorthand class went to Delco Remy to ob- serve secretaries at worlc in a large business. l-iighland's busi- ness department also ottered more with the addition of equip- ment including a new electric typewriter, an electric calcu- lator, and two voicewriters which dictate to the Typist while the typing is done. The new equipment helped give students experience with machines being used in modern business. Sheila Dragoo, a business law student, received pointers about salesmanship from Mr. Dotson, a member ofthe Booster Club.
