Mrs. Glenda Corrigan Mr. Roger F euerbacher Mrs. Evelyn Dunnick Mr. Kenneth Freeman Courses in Business Education ranged from personal typing to courses in clerical practice and salesmanship Students planning for college as well as those heading for jobs after graduation found that notehand, bookkeeping, and other courses were helpful. Students wanting to specialize in this field partici- pated in either Cfiice Education or Distributive Educa- tion. Distributive Education was for those whose interest lie in sales-related jobs. Oflice Education students were those who were interested in ofiice-related jobs. Both programs worked in much the same way in that the stu- dents attended classes in the mornings and worked in Cedar Rapids firms in the afternoons. MRS. DUNNICK uses the overhead projector to illustrate a point to her notehand class. rf-L 23
