BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL SKILLS BUSINESS DEPARTMENT The Commercial Program at Sharon High School offers the student a chance to apply the knowledge he has gained and use it on practical levels in the fields of business math, office and secretarial work. The business math student may use the skills learned at Sharon High to enter the business world or go on to further training after high school. For secretarial work, a solid background is offered in typing and stenography. The student may also elect bookkeeping and office practice courses to broaden his scope in these areas. rf Mrs. Miriam R.
