Shop Mathematics gives a good background in e areas of math used by the industrial arts students. The Science Department helps a person toward a better understanding of the con- stantly shrinking universe around us. Biology, besides giving the student a background in learning to think scientifically, helps him to better appreciate the world in which he lives. Chemistry gives a better understanding of the make-up of the universe, while Physics, through different mathematical processes, deals with the way in which the forces of nature work. P.S.S.C. Physics shows the student the mechanics-of Pl1Y5lC5 and through scientific experimentation, the way in which these mechanics were founded. Because of atomic energy and space travel, the importance of very technical mathe- matics and science for universal problems is usually stressed, but a basic understanding of these fields is needed to get along with, live with, and appreciate your immediate society. r Ja s .

With the commercial educa- tion and training available at Berkley High School, the world of business can open many doors to various jobs. However, these courses are also good background for a college major in Economics or Business Administration. For the student who does plan on further education, many of these subjects, such as typing and bookkeeping, are very useful, and in some cases mandatory. The Commercial Department offers many courses necessary to students planning a career in business administration. For a secretary, typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, office practice, and business English are very important subjects. Consumers economics is a helpful course for all, as is retail sales. Commercial law and commercial math are also two useful courses in this field. Co-operative training, meanwhile, gives many students practical experience in their chosen fields as well as a chance to put their knowledge to work. The Co-op program enables Florence Marcheff to obtain training in op- erating a telephone switchboard.
