Business Is Really Booming Mr. Vogt and Mr. Harrington's economics and constitution classes met for three weeks to make a study of inflation. The students were divided into groups representing agriculture, bankers, consumers, government em- ployees, and labor unions. Each group did research and presented their plan for solving the inflation problem to the President of the United States and his economic advisor. These leaders who were selected by the teach- ers, then drew up a bill and presented it to Congress. The bill was debated, amended, and approved by the members of the two classes who served as Congress members. A new addition to the business department this year is Lesley Cooper. She teaches Typing I, Advanced Typing and Office Machines, and Shorthand. The Typing I students learn the basic skills of the typewriter. The Ad- vanced students get acquainted with many procedures that are used in the business office. Learning to take dictation is one of the skills the Shorthand students have a chance to learn. 14
