Meeting Students ' Needs The Business Education de- partment was one of seven de- partments to get a new depart- ment head this year. Mrs. Janet Weaver, who had been depart- ment head at Marshall High School before its closing, came to Manual in the same position. The Business Education de- partment offered a variety of classes to meet the students ' needs. In these classes the stu- dents learned and used new skills that would help them in office careers. To prepare students to enter the business world of the future, computers and word processors were used extensively. Today ' s offices use word processors. Students who can use word pro- cessors will find many job op- portunities in the business world, explained Mrs. Joyce Cook, business teacher. Several vocational programs were offered by the department. Miss Barbara Boeldt served as coordinator of the COE pro- gram and Mr. Randy Smith was coordinator for Marketing Education, better known as ME. In these programs stu- dents spent part of their day in class and the other part on the job. Most of the COE students worked in local offices or busin- esses, using what they learned in the classroom in a real-life situation. These students re- ceived pay for their work as well as school credit. Students in the ME program also held jobs in the community for both pay and credit. Many of them had jobs in retail.

Creative Skills The Home Economics de- partment taught a variety of in- teresting skills. Regular classes included Foods, Clothing, Needleart, and Grooming. Nu- trition for the Athlete was the mini-class. Mrs. Frances Ben- son was the department head. The foods classes were not for girls only; more male stu- dents enrolled in foods to learn about the joys of cooking. Students in clothing classes kept their sewing machines humming and turned out at- tractive clothing and other un- usual projects. Projects from the needleart classes were displayed at the Education Center and at the Gift and Hobby Show.
