16 Students enroll in business classes for present purposes and for future uses Learning about debits and credits, filing and resumes, 110 business stu- dents were enrolled in nine different classes throughout the year. Only 1 3 of these students took the class because it was a requirement. The other 66% had other reasons. “I’m planning to be a business major in college,” said senior Darin Batchman. “Besides we did some computer work, which was interesting, and Vogt allows everyone to go at their own pace; I like that.” Sophomore Michelle Lattin’s rea- sons were similar. “In General Business we had our own businesses,” she said, “and we ran a sandwich shop. I think this will help me a lot in the future. I have been thinking about becoming an accoun- tant.” Career choices affect what classes high school students take, and their reactions to classes often alter their decisions. A lot depends upon how much a student likes a class. “I took Business Law because I’m thinking about entering a field of chemistry or law,” said sophomore Brooke Simpson. “But basically I took it because it sounded interesting. We have learned a lot through the text and also through the field trips. The first one we took was to the court house. We saw what lawyers did before the trial, this was real interesting to most of the class.” No matter what the reason for enrolling in a class, students used what they learned in their own ways. Junior Jill Schloctermeier planned on using shorthand whenever she could. “We learn shorthand through books, tapes, and dictates. I will pro- bably be able to use this in some of my classes,” she said. by Shelly Duncan
