business Department Offers Actual Work Sfcperienee Through the specialized curriculum of the Busi- ness Department, students are given the opportunity to gain valuable experience in actual job situations. With the co-operation of Fayetteville merchants and businessmen, many students participating in the Vocational Office Training or Distributive Educa- tion program are placed in paid positions which amount to 10 hours a week working time. Also in conjunction with the Vocational Office Training program, directed by Mrs. Dorothy Sasser, many students are employed by the Fayetteville City School System. These perform secretarial serv- ices here at our school and at various schools throughout the citv. Some work directly for the Administration at the Neill A. Currie Administra- tion Building. Dr. Thomas H. Price, director of the Distribu- tive Education program, instructs his students in areas such as buying and selling, advertising, and managerial duties for part of the school day. The remainder of the day is divided between academic studies and a paid job which Dr. Price assists the student in finding. Students not interested in immediate employ- ment may develop and practice business skills by taking advantage of such courses as Office Prac- tice, Typing, Bookkeeping, Business Law, and Shorthand.
