First year students were intro- duced to the foreign languages primarily through listening and speaking the language. The second year was basically grammar and composition. Third and fourth year students learned about the culture of the countries, from which the languages originated. Although enrollment was small, Spanish V increased the courses offered by the Foreign Language Department.

The Business Department was not just for the college bound stu- dent, but for the high school grad- uate as well. Students performed many services for the school in on- the-job training. The Future Busi- ness Leaders of America Club added depth to the curriculum. Basic Business and Personal Typing were added to the Business curriculum.
