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.

The office staff is comprised of LEFT T0 RIGHT: Mrs. Mary Hazlett, bookkeeperg Mrs. Gloria Lewis, secretary. Office Staff Aids Administration Mrs. Lewis answers one of many phone calls she receives during the day. 20 To keep CHHS on its toes, Mrs. Hazlett and Mrs. Lewis have the tranendous task of answering phone calls, keeping records, and maintaining a calm atmosphere in the main office. These ladies have become very familiar faces at CHHS, and students as well as teachers have learned to rely on our secretary and bookkeeper for odd jobs and numerous favors. As secretary! Mrs. Lewis types reports and runs errands. Mrs. Hazlett keeps each class financially stable and keeps a record of all school expenditures. Without these two very important people, an average day at CHHS would never run smoothly.
