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.

Developing Skills for the Future The Industrial Arts department had many course offerings and en- joyed a great turn out of students. Throughout the school year, indus- trial arts at Manual tried to improve the course offerings to meet the needs of all students. They were successful with large numbers of students in the department; howev- er, they continued to look for ways to better serve all students. The three skill courses that were offered were Vocational Auto Me- chanics, Vocational Electronics, and Vocational I.C.T. These spe- cialized courses were for students who were planning to seek employ- ment in these areas immediately after high school. The Industrial Arts department played a big role in helping students choose a career. The students seemed to enjoy themselves more when they were in groups. The teachers also seemed pleased with the trends that were changing the department. The Home Economics depart- ment saw an increase in the number of students who enrolled in that de- partment. More male students en- rolled in home economics classes. The home economics classes not only taught students how to cook and sew, they also taught them skills that they would need later on in life. Foods teacher Miss Christine Wagner stated, We talk about to- pics common in everyday life. We do things that students will need to know to make smart choices now and later on as adults.
