The Business Department offers courses which may serve as a basis for after -graduation office work or for further study in the field. The instructors in this depart- ment are Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Ackerson, Mrs. Lemme, and Mr. Huffer. Two years of typing are offered in the Business De- partment. The fundamentals of typing are taught during the first year. The advanced typing class works with business forms such as those used in actual offices. A personal typing course is offered to students who merely want to develop a typing skill for their own use. Shorthand courses are also available for two years. Shorthand forms are learned and accuracy is developed in the first year. In the advanced course typewritten tran- scripts are required daily to acquaint the students with office procedures. Speed and accuracy increase through- out the course. One year of bookkeeping is now offered in the Business Department. This is a general course in the fundamentals of bookkeeping which prepares the student for further study in the field. General Clerical consists of instruction in filing and the use of office machines. This course is offered after the advanced typing course to students seriously interested in entering office work.

Frank Fleener, Roger Boldt, Pete Bullard, Dan Haston, Jim Martin, and Jim Strong work hard to complete their advanced shop projects. Buford Stafford, Tim To.vnsend, and Jim Strong try to figure out new angles and methods in the mechanical drawing class. Painted... Drew... Mr. Scott, teacher of the shop and mechanical drawing classes, feels that in both these subjects, individuality is of the utmost importance. For this reason these two classes are growing rapidly in popularity with the students. In shop, students are taught the proper care and basic use of tools and working implements. They enjoy working with the tools available for their use. By learning to use these tools well, students are able to take on projects that might otherwise be impossible for them; for instance, the painting of their own cars, or the construction and re- pairing of bookshelves, cabinets, tables, and other useful and beautiful household furniture. Carmel is planning to add to its shop department some printing equipment to teach students the art of printing. The mechanical drawing classes are advanced studies of the basic fundamentals taught in shop. Many students find that the knowledge they gain from the mechanical drawing classes is vital if they wish to enter into the field of engineering. With the help of Mr. Scott, these two important classes will continue to develop and grow at Carmel. Working on an advanced shop project are Jim Martin, Jim Thomas, Don White, Dallis Sinclair, Jim Katterhenrv.
