The Past Points To The Future In one of his World' History classes, Mr. Miller takes his students to ancient Rome. Learning from the past enables men to influence the future. One needs to study the development of man and his ideas to examine our current problems. History allows one to learn from our past mistakes. Government classes explore the structure and opera- tion of our democracy. Geography aims toward a better understanding of other environments. ' RONALD MILLER World History, History Geography B.S.

B.S. VPI The business curriculum has paved the way to suc- cessful careers for many of its participating students. In addition to learning about the ever-changing business world, students taking D.E. and V.O.T. receive on-the- job-training. V.O.T. students also learn the correct op- eration of office machines. ' Typing I and II and shorthand are offered to the commercial student, and a new course in personal typ- ing and notehand is offered to college-bound students. Business English, business mathematics, and business law are available to business students, also. Through these courses, students acquire many skills which prepare them to lead successful lives in the com- petitive world of business. Students who have had personal typing and notehand are better prepared for college work. Notehand, a modi- fied form of shorthand, serves as an aid in taking lec- ture notes. Through personal typing, students are able to type their own themes and term papers. Offered to college-bound students only, this course will make the adjustment to college courses easier. Mrs. Cox grades timed writings in her personal typing class which was offered for the first time this year.
