Business candidates perfect basic skills Preparino students in the right way for careers in business is sonietliing the business education de- partment feels is necessary. To meet this necessity, coinprehensive courses are offered to the students of our high school. Such courses as shorthand, typ- ing, and bookkeeping prepare them for a future bus- iness as well as other vocations. Included in the business education department is the distributive education program, a course pro- viding seniors with studies in all phases of retail sales work. As a part of this progi ' am students may work part time and attend school. Beginning and advanced courses in typing, short- hand and introduction to business, provide the foun- dation for a business education. Further training in the arious aspects of business by courses center- ed around business machines, law, inathematics. and bookkeeping. What may look like scribbling to some is actually neatly done shorthand, helpful in preparing future secretaries. Arthur L. Taylor Department chair- man; Student Assem- bly co-sponsor Max D.

Max Darnielle Senior English student ' s intently view the Oedipus training films, which supplement their class study of this literary work. Thirty separate plans and texts are used by the English Department to offer every student a course to accommodate his abilities, needs, and post-school plans. This extensive program demands the largest number of faculty members, twenty-three. Advanced placement classes are set up on all three grade levels. Literature is a vital part of English in high school. By discarding conventional hard-back literatiue an- thologies and adopting a paper-back study progTam, CHS students are exposed to a wider variety of lit- erature styles, authors, and subject matter. More than 150 books are involved including novels, poetry, tragedies, essays and plays by authors ranging from Shakespeare to Steinbeck. With large selections of study material, and flexibility of requirements, each teacher is able to choose the literatine most valuable to individual classes. In addition to the required English courses, mo- dem literature and speech are regularly offered plus a drama class in the second semester. A bus trip to Bloomington took seniors to see Macbeth presented at Indiana University. Guest lecturers from various universities embellish studies with new ideas. Absorbed in The Pearl, a book read by sophomore English classes, Debby Cortner and Rachel Lawson enjoy Steinbeck ' s symbolism. 28
