a i BUS NESS ' Edward Boyle Donna Burrill 3 l The Business Department, guided by Mr. Man- ning, is concerned with teaching the students the fundamentals of business related fields. Courses including data processing, typing, book- keeping, and accounting encourage the students to explore the many opportunities in the busi- ness world. The main objective of the Business Department is to teach the student a basic economic under- standing for personal or career related situa- tions. The department excels in providing the student with a broad and thorough education on which to expand. Donald Callow Laura Cohen Mr. Manning thinks that the majority of the class of 1983 has taken advantage of the vast opportu- T nities at Brockton High School.

NGLISH DEP The English Department at Brockton High of- fers a wide variety of courses to suit the needs and desires of every student. After taking the required freshman and sophomore English classes, students are free to choose courses from two areas, reading and writing. Everything from journalism to Shakespeare has been offered. The objective of the English Department is to improve students' communication skillsg read- ing, writing, listening, and speaking. According to Mrs. Malatesta, the department head, English relates to the strongest need in life, the need to communicate with others. In preparation for life, the English Department gives us the responsibility of selecting courses that will be most meaningful to us as individuals. It is up to us to recognize what challenges we will face and what we should do to prepare for them. Offering advice to the Class of '83, Mrs. Mala- testa said, Part of growing up is learning how to make rules that will be most rewarding, rather than accepting those that have prevailed. We may revise and revamp the rules. She added that it's important to know when to play according to the rules we've set for ourselves, too. Summing up English and its role is our future, Mrs. Malatesta said, The good thing about Eng- lish is that it applies to everything in human communication, from computers to writing to being more effective in life. English is the all- purpose subject. Gail Greenblatt I IIIFIL L F icxliml immm: 0 l S .
