The Business Education Department was charac¬ terized by continuation. This department, as always, aimed at preparing its students for careers in the business world soon, if not immediately, after high school. Courses ranged from accounting to the more common typing. It continued its use of new curricu¬ lum and techniques in its more recently developed courses of Office Machines and Co-operative Office Occupations. Often the latter course placed students in part-time jobs for on-the-job training during select¬ ed afternoons of the school week. BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Driver Education played an important role in school life. To pass the Driver Education course, a student was required to spend 36 days in the classroom training, consisting of films, discussions, and skill tests. The student was also required to have 18 days in under-the-wheel training. Young drivers were taught proper driving skills, habits, and manners.
