BUSINESS Tomorrow holds excellent job oppor- tunities for the student in the commercial course. The growing business world will provide high-paying positions for many well-trained men and women. There will be a great demand for students now studying to be bookkeepers, clerical workers, typists, and stenographers. Students majoring in commercial math will meet the demand for accountants, and there are many opportunities for girls interested in becoming legal and medical secretaries, typists and stenogra- phers. The need for capable workers in the commercial field is great, and many companies will depend on the present high school students to fill these openings. By studying the courses offered, stu- dents have increased their accuracy, de- pendability, and efficiency. Mrs. Johnston’s time clock See what the comma does?

‘God love a duck” Eureka Several decades ago a cure for polio, the harnessing of atomic energy, and moon rockets were dreams for the twenty-first century. Probably, impossibilities of to- day will be made commonplace tomorrow by rising scientists whether in fields of research, technology, or applied science. There is no greater opportunity to build and shape the future than to conquer the chal- lenges of science. One who has been instructed in any course of sci- ence at Belmont High School has been trained for the future. He has not learned only laws and discoveries, he has learned, too, the significance and opportunities of research, preparing for a scientifically complex to- morrow. 17 En Garde A new element SCIENCE You re looking at your thumb

This is a motor Three heads are better than one What the heck is this little doohickey? VOCATIONAL This year the vocational students en- joyed the use of new shops and equip- ment. In the Auto Shop, with better equip- ment than many service stations, Mr. Rogers taught the operations of the auto- mobile. Mr. Seaman taught many skills in the Machine Shop which also has sev- eral new machines. Students in Mr. Haroian’s Electrical Shop worked dili- gently on both house and industrial wir- ing. With the Sheet Metal Shop’s modern equipment, Mr. Corrigan taught the stu- dents methods of production of a variety of metal fabrications. Mr. Egan’s group in the Wood Shop built kitchen cabinets, furniture and other wood products of professional quality. In all shops, students have been ac- curately prepared for professional posi- tions. Mike Boyle Learn by doing Vocational Boys
