Equipping students for varied pursuits in life, Business supplied students with the skills needed in America's business world, Drivers Training gave students a way to get to their iobs, and Foreign Language expanded students' communicative ability. Less enrollment in the Business Department brought about the combining of advanced courses. With not enough students signing up for the advanced courses. Filing and Business Machines, Stenography and Business English were intermixed. Supplies for these classes were average, but there was the problem of book expenses. Ten year old books in the Stenography and Bookkeeping classes needed replacing, but the expenses of them restrained the department from buying books. Adding machines also became a problem for the budget. With no additional money to purchase them, students grouped together to share them. In the Drivers Training Department books and supplies were no problem compared to the Business Department. While supplies were fine, there was a shortage of teachers. Opening up the subiect State Requirements to all grades meant more students taking the subiect. Helping out for one period was Mr. Harry Bartley. Passing the age 'l5 V2 urged students to sign up for Drivers Training. Teaching eager students to drive was Ms. Kathy Bertsch, an addition to the department. Another addition to the department was a new program concerning iob awareness which taught students the different positions that were open for a iob. Teaming up with the Career Center, Job Awareness became a worthwhile course. Learning to speak a foreign language was a new experience for many students. This past year beginning students were even more confused because levels 2,3, and 4 were combined into one period. In these classes students did much individualized work. Ms. Marie Thompson felt that this situation was due to low enrollment and scheduling difficulties. In order not to lose the students, the department scheduled them into any available period.

-:f,,-,.,3T.FITvv Y X x Do you think 15 credits in the mathematics and science fields is a good set number of credits to be required for graduating? Why?

From my own experience and the comments of many other people I little Spanish can have some communication. First aid is always helpful in everyday life. Ms. Lantseberger Yes business and foreign language offer great possibilities in the import-export field among others and first aid is important to everyone in any situation. Ms. Thompson I think business is good for anyone s personal use state requirements necessary unless needed for a job. Pamela Gillming Yes they prepare a person for everyday problems in life.
