Required Classes Lead to Graduation During each or the four years of high school, students were required to make out their own schedules. This task was made easier because of the classes that were required. These classes were needed in order to graduate, but also to provide valuable knowledge and to prepare students for the years after gradu- ation. English was a requirement for ev- ery student throughout high school. Math also had to be taken for at least two years. The freshman requir ement was physical educa- tion. Although most freshmen do not like gym, the class gave them a sense of responsibility and disci- pline. For sophomores, biology was the required class. For juniors, the only required class besides English was United States history. This class gave the students a better understanding of this country and its role in the world. The senior requirements includ- ed such classes as health, govern- ment, and economics. All of these classes were required to help the students prepare for a productive and knowledgeable future. JUNIOR MARK WEST listens intently to a lecture in Introduction to Marketing, a class required of DECA students.

Training for Business The Business department pro- vided a variety ot classes to meet the needs of students in a changing world. The more traditional courses like typing, shorthand, and ac- counting were still offered. These courses were designed to meet the needs ot students who planned to do general office work after high school. Introduction to Business was a class for underclassmen. In this class students learned how to fill out an application for employment, how to use a checking account, and other skills they would need after high school. There were two specialized busi- ness classes for upperclassmen. COE and DE combined classroom instruction and on-the-job training for students. In these classes, stu- dents received high school credit and also a salary for their jobs.
