BUSINESS CLASSES GROW BHS business classes include typing, bookkeep- ing, shorthand, and clerical practice. Typing, which is taught by Miss Baker, is re- quired for at least one of the four years at BHS. Students taking typing are not only taught a skill, but they also learn to construct themes and manuscripts. As with most students, Cathy Beyer makes an error in typing, but is soon straightened out by Miss Baker. Gloria Foos, Dale Giauque, and Walter Cambell take advantage of the equipment offered to student typists.

Since it is a vocational course, the state requires that certain other aspects of homemaking must also be studied. In- cluded in the requirements are canning and freezing; child care, development and growth; and management of time, energy and money. 30 Mrs. Staby, instructor of the Home Eco- nomics classes, assists one of her students in completing a project.
