Business Department uses new techniques Two office machine students try their luck at the dicta¬ phone, a machine that replaces the need for written dic¬ tation. Berryman T. Cudd Mrs. Mary D. Davis Roger D. Hedgecock (Not pictured: Mrs. Hybernia Faduma) Several new courses and the latest in equip¬ ment characterized the business education de¬ partment this year. Capable and dedicated teachers worked diligently to train students in such business activities as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and accounting. Cooperative Office Occupations, Preparatory Office Occupations, and Office Machines were three new courses added to the curriculum at Central High School. The cooperative program, designed to prepare the business student for office work immediately following graduation, achieved this goal by placing the students in part time jobs in the afternoons. The students received three units of credit for this course. 26

For High Point Central ' s math department, the word was concentration. The teacher-stu¬ dent relationship for math students had to be a clear one, for math, from general courses, to analytic geometry, required agreement in all cases for complete comprehension of subject matter. High Point ' s math department has an excellent foundation with teachers who helped rather than forced a student to learn. In general, the math department encompass¬ ed three different lines of study: one for gen¬ eral curriculum math students, one for the average progressive student, and one for the advanced student particularly interested in math and science. Courses such as elementary func¬ tions and analytic geometry were set up to chal¬ lenge the most advanced student, while other courses laid a foundation for an adequate math background. All in all, math ' s chief objectives, to challenge, to concentrate, and to compre¬ hend, were achieved at Central High School. With some assistance, Miss Neely prepares to make copies of math data.
