It is a course com- posed of many subjects, contributing to the aims of both general and vocational education. The department offers two vocational courses of study, either stenographic or bookkeeping. Through a wide selection of carefully planned extra- curricular activities, such as The Future Business Leaders of America Club, guest speakers, field trips, the NOMA award, guidance, and aid placement service, the Business Department prepares all students for business and com- mercial positions which are open to high school graduates. The students elect these courses either as a terminal education or as a means of acquiring efficiency in other fields of education. Last year the NOMA award went to Barbara Keziah. Mrs. Charlotte A.
