Correctness in Commerce Mr. William Brann Mr. Jack Fernane Miss Suzanne Filiqfrqulf 22 Students must prepare early for jobs in the business world. 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.

Efficiency in the Shop and in the Home The realm of the Industrial Arts is a haven for those students who are artistic and enjoy working with their hands. Wood and Metal Shop offer the fundamentals needed for working in their respective media. A tu- ture metalurgist or carpenter learns his basics here. The auto shop program gives a thorough introduction to the automobile, giving courses on the chasis, motor, and the electrical system of a car. Mechanical Drawing is closely connected with the shop courses. The drawings made here tell the men in the shop what to make. The Graphic Arts course teaches the principles of com- mercial art. As the shop courses teach the fundamentals of shop, Home Economics teaches the fundamentals of the home. The arts of cooking, housekeeping, and child care are demonstrated in this course. The inner-workings of a brake drum are carefully scrutinized by Flon Herman in Auto Shop. 24 s L k in f V , ,sr 'Q gl ' Mr. Lynn Holley Ski Club, Cross Country
