Mems 3un And Wovi Boys follow the same basic program as girls in the class- room instruction, except that their teachers are men. For outdoor instruction in sports, boys play soccer and touch football in addition to volleyball and basketball. For the first time this year an additional teacher was pro- vided at Brunswick High School in order to offer Behind-the- Wheel instruction to all boys and girls who might desire to be- come better drivers and save money on insurance. Many boys learn basic skills in physical education classes that enable them to take more interest in sports and to partic- ipate on junior varsity and varsity teams.

Linda Moore posts accounts in bookkeeping class. Mrs. Thompson dictates to shorthand students. ! Business Dept, Suture Off iee I Click, click, click, ting. These are the. sounds which come from the typewriters! and other machines in the typing rooms where Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Thompson teach business techniques and skills. The B.H.S. students taking the complete commercial course begin their study in Typing I by learning the different keys on the typewriter and slowly develop speed with skill. Those taking Shorthand I begin by learning all the shorthand characters and then developing the necessary speed. The second year of typing and shorthand completes and adds polish to the students ' speed and accuracy. Mrs. Jones ' s Office Practice class gives the students practical training in office routine. The high- light of this class is the dress-up day when the girls come to school dressed in office clothes. These Office Practice students draw attention from the other students and are asked questions like, Why so dressed up? , What in the world is going on? , What are you trying to prove?” The General Business class gives the students a well- rounded knowledge of many various office procedures. The course will also help a person handle his private affairs as well as those of a larger company. Some information is taught in General Business about keeping and balancing a budget, but most of the bookkeeping procedure is re- served for Mrs. Thompson ' s Bookkeeping class. The Bookkeeping course here at Brunswick will help a person keep better personal records as well as company records. This training provides the students with the knowledge and skills they will need in order to make a living in the years to come.
