Business Courses Valuable For Future To become successful in a modern business world, certain basic fundamentals are neces¬ sary. The curriculum at A.H.S. is such that students can choose courses which provide these fundamentals. For the student going on to college a basic background of typing and briefhand is very valuable. Bookkeeping I and II and office practice will help students going into accounting. For the secretary-minded girls, shorthand I and II will provide a basis on which they can build a career as executive, commercial and industrial secretaries. BOOKKEEPING--Helping students in the field of bookkeeping and economics is Mr. Ricketts. SHORTHAND—Training students for quick and accurate note taking or letter writing is Mr. Fluharty, who teaches shorthand, briefhand, and office practice. TYPING--Mr. Anderson aids students in getting a firm start in the business world by teaching tire typing courses and busi¬ ness math. 21 L
