Business Education paves way for future careers Business Education develops job skills for the future. Students are offered accounting, business arithmetic, business law, data processing, shorthand and typing. The skills learned can be used in business and industry. Three programs provide on-the-job training. Distributive Education (DECA), Executive Internship, and Office Educa- tion (OE). DECA and OE arrange for students to go to school half days and spend the other half on the job. Ex- ecutive interns receive on-the-job train- ing all day long in businesses involved in their chosen fields. Both programs give credit for the business experience gained. v Janyce Abarr Sally Fisher (above center) Sophomore Brenda Frye concentrates on her typ- ing, (above right) Seniors Kris Frangos, Rhonda Rice and Sophomore Jodi Ramey discuss an assignment in their account- ing class.
