Math teachers are very happy and excited to have classes and a workroom in the new building. There are not enough words to describe the pleasure, the thrill, the excitement of teaching in such an atmosphere and environmentf' states Mrs. Reynolds. Some math classes were still held in the main building be- cause there were too many courses for all of them to be as- signed to the new wing. Many students regretted not being able to take part in the new facilities that were erected for their benefit.

Representatives from business firms in Pensacola spoke to the students throughout the semester, demonstrating equipment and describing systems used to process data.

A wide selection of courses were offered. These consisted of Shorthand I and II, Typing I and II, personal typing, book- keeping, business math, business law, consumer economics, and ofiice practice.

Diversified cooperative training has been organized to pre- pare selected individuals to cope with practical aspects of maintaining a regular job. The students develop basic skills and knowledge for entrance and advancement in their chosen occupation.
