BUSINESS EDUCATION: STUDENTS LEARN TO TYPE OPPOSITE LUNCH PERIODS Preparing for the business world, supplementing a mathematics major, or merely learning to type an Eng- list theme, are all reasons why the Niles student elects a course in Business Education. Courses such as short¬ hand, tvping, bookkeeping or data processing are all designed specifically to meet the needs ol the high school student in his daily work and to provide him with the tools to reach future goals. New developments in business machines and techni¬ ques of study are adopted, informing the student of con¬ temporary business advancements. Typing and other courses are also available to the student during half-hour study halls. The department relates the student ' s busi¬ ness education to other aspects of his knowledge to develop an intelligent, well-rounded person. 1R. ROBERT E. FEICK Unity Board MR.
