,pk I ' 6, t! 2 Alan Marion Vicki Saxon Janet Taylor McCandless Munsinger Business Ed Teaches Skills Worth Learning Tangled fingers and eyeballs on the keyboard were commonly found in beginning typing. This class, offered by the Business Education Department, was very important to those students entering the business world and for those using computers later on in life. Skills such as typing and shorthand are essential for college bound students, for note taking, and the writing of term papers. Any student wishing to attend college is a prime candidate for all Business Ed classes. These basic techni- ques are necessary to obtain a satisfac- tory position in the business world. Other business classes offered by this department were Data Processing, which is the writing of programs in BASIC and Cobol languages, Marketing and Distributing, Accoun- ting, and Cooperative Merchandising. There was something for every student interested in any aspect of business. One class that students found very helpful was School Work Experience. This work program placed students in school offices answering telephones, typing and taking messages as clerical workers. Most students found this op- portunity an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Teachers too, found this helpful to the students in learning how to cope with business life. Subjects offered by this department provide students with skills that can be utilized during their working years ahead. 111 Mr. McCandless watches intently as a 'demonstration against crime is being performed in his frst hour class. 1Photo by L.
