WE ARE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Business Education is built upon and contributes to general education. It is broad in scope and concerned with the development of knowledges, understandings, attitudes, appreciations, and skills which will enable the individual to understand and thus better participate in the func- tions of American Business. Typing I is fast becoming an essential skill for all high school graduates—those planning to further their education as well as those who will be seeking employment. For this reason we encourage all students to Typing I. Office Practice, a senior subject, builds upon these skills learned in Typing I, and introduces the student to office techniques and practices. The subject is primarily for those desiring to enter the clerical branch of business or major in business in college. Business Math and Basic Business are foundation courses for the general manipulation of business terminology and mathematical skills. High School Physics is applied mathematics. The technological aspect of our world today demands more experts in this field of science. Progress in Science surely will be one of the dominant fields of progress for our twentieth century--new fabrics in chemistry, space craft in Physics and revolution in conquest of disease in Biology, are examples.
