Mr. Bostwick Mrs. Crossley Mrs. Gruschow .sq we-V Mrs. Haslock Mr. Schachern Mrs. Ulery Business Courses Help Business Education is not only for those pur- suing secretarial work . . . as a career but for all students, college bound and otherwise. Typing, the most basic of business courses, familiarizes students with the keyboard to the point where they can type rapidly without looking at the keys. This comes in handy for term papers, office work, and business letters. Notehand and Shorthand help students to become more efficient in taking class notes and dictation. The difference between the two is notehand has about 45 symbols and the stu- dents are taught to take only the meat of what is being said. Shorthand has some 250 symbols, and students must take down what is being said word for word. Business Math is a general math course, and an introduction to accounting. Accounting is an in depth, complex study of bookkeeping, auditing, and business accounts. Students not only learn in Co-op but have the opportunity to earn money. It is set up to help students with work experience emphasiz- ing merchandising, marketing, retailing, and advertising. The purpose is to help students to become well informed with the free enterprise system. Those involved in Co-op take all their required courses in the morning and are dis- missed after lunch to their designated jobs. l hu-,K 'Wu Q a g V, X 133 f4l Kgs Z. 'Z iv r 5, v

Start lnnovations The Home Economics Department at Seaholm is always bursting with girls and sometimes boys, to learn about home making. Besides cooking and sewing, it offers many different classes that arenit taught in other schools. Fashions and Fabrics teach the young girls how to go and buy cloth and to keep up on the current fashions. The department teaches as a course, Child Study. In another course, mar- riage and the family, they discuss such topics as broken marriages, the role of the working mother, pregnancy, and love. Child Study is a fairly new course. In it, the students study the life of a child, before and after it is born. Also included in the course are out- side speakers talking about raising children. Mrs. Mills teaches sex ed- ucation as part of Child Study. Marriage and the Family is another subject that is being used this year. Girls are taught about parentfteen re- lationships, about also families throughout the world and compare them with each other. The most im- portant topic is what marriage would really be like.
