Cody classes in business education and co-op prepared students for a future in business. Beginners were required to take general business, typing, and business math to develop a foundation in the commercial field. Gradually classes in bookkeeping and business law supplemented the course of study for business majors. And then advanced courses in transcript, office machines, and clerical practice put basic skills to practical use in teaching students accuracy and efficiency. Co-op students attended classes first and then punched a time card in business offices throughout the city. Now students worked to please not only a teacher but also their employer. And the commercial and retailing co-op classes they were now taking offered them the key to a successful career in business. They learned in class how to measure up to the employer's standards. Professional business personnel gave them some sound advice in many informal classroom discussions and demonstrations. Cody students were then prepared to take the first step towards their chosen career by gaining actual experience in business. Dictaphone typing from a pre-dictated tape teaches this office machines student how pre- cious minutes can be saved in typing business reports and letters. Cody retailing classes have an opportunity to use a life-size window showcase for display purposes. One of their presentations about' future careers in retailing represents the typical senior looking over these prospective careers. Retailing students learn that arranging an attractive display case requires a knowledge of how to coordinate both color and materials. Here in class they practice actually designing and creating sample show case displays. Twenty-five
