This is the second year that a distributive education program has been of- fered at Catalina. These courses, both beginning and advanced, are designed to acquaint students with selling, business procedures, and vocational efficiency. Nine instructors make use of the latest business equip- ment in teaching these skills to the 1000 students en- rolled in this department. The demand for experienced workers in this field is great. Many graduating students go into the industrial and business fields. This illustrates the importance and usefulness of a business education program. The Business Education Department offers courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business training, commercial law, b u si n e s s machines, and office practice. BUSINESS EDUCATION . . .

Help- ing teen-agers solve their problems and paving the road to adulthood are cited as chief satisfactions of counseling. Miss Jean Meinhardt, secretary to the counselors, was frequently found behind a line of students making appointments for them with the counselors and supply- ing information about the school. Griping in general disturbs Mr. David Fithian. Col- lecting stamps is his hobby and he is the Stamp Club sponsor. He also does woodworking and recently fin- ished building a house. Bolivian head hunters and pyrannas are among the memories of Mr. Chester Parks. He has traveled over much of the world, mostly during World War ll. Peo- ple with no goals in life are what irritate him most. Mr. Gerald Houck states that his most interesting hobby is meeting and helping young people. After being in the school system for thirty-five years, honesty the committee. t' Hendon. is what he admires most, especially among young people. Mrs. Larae Hambenne, a counselor for eight years, has the hobbies of plant growing and music. She has traveled in all of the fifty states except Hawaii and Alaska. Miss Grace Hendon was the one, who suggested re- quisitioning a noiseless scooter for the counselors to use for their numerous trips around the halls. Incon- sideration to people, animals, and plants are what bother her most. Mineralogy, archeology, and Ameri- can history are some of her hobbies. Well known for his joke-telling in his counseling and classes, Mr. Gerald Brandsma's pet peeve is people who don't show proper respect for the flag. Iceland, Scotland, and England are foreign lands that he has visited. Mr. Lee Starr expressed the common peeve of every counselor very aptly: People with ability who don't use it provoke me! Writing and tinkering around the house are his hobbies.

Cooking Odors, Tnread, Children Exennplifq Hornernaking, Cooking odors wafting through the halls-spools of vari-colored thread rolling across the floor-small children iumping rope in the cafeteria patio-these things all typify some of the phases included in home- making. For the second year, homeliving, a class which boys and girls take together, was offered. Under the direction of Mrs. Xenia Haushalter, the C. H. S. homemaking department focused its train- ing on six phases: home management, cooking, sew- ing, finance, family relations, and family problems. , , ,, ,.

Drivers Training, Education Stress Safetq and Laws Arizona laws were stressed by the teachers of drivers education. This six-weeks-long course-, required dur- ing the sophomore year, is an important factor in edu- cating future drivers in their responsibilities, encourag- ing proper driving attitudes, and teaching care of the car. Drivers training includes care of the car as well as the behind-the-wheel driving instruction. With over 60,000 people killed on highways in the last year, drivers training and drivers education courses are taking on more importance. DRIVERS EDUCATION partment head.
