r Miss Madeline M. Donovan Department Head Business Department In our competitive society there are many rewarding positions opened to those trained in the various business sciences. Our Business Department, headed by Miss Madehne M. Donovan, seeks to prepare its students for worthwhile careers in the secretarial and clerical fields. Under the Part-Time Program of the department students attend classes for one week, while on alternate weeks they are employed in secretarial work in the School Department or in various school offices. In this way a student gains actual business experience. The Business Office further assists students by finding them employment outside school, as well as helping many select business and secretarial schools where they can further their education. Our Business Department offers its students the proper preparation and guidance necessary for employment in the field of business. Joseph J. Buono Miss Augusta Cottone Did I type that?

Miss Lillian M. Taylor Department Head English Department The English Department, under the direction of Miss Lillian M. Taylor, seeks to aid the student in speaking, writing, and appreciating good English. In addition to the regular English classes in the College Preparatory Course, there are honors divisions for outstanding seniors, juniors, and sophomores; and for the first time this year there is an Advanced Place- ment Program in English. In addition to the regular English classes in the Business and General Course curricula there are now three courses in Basic English for juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. In these courses the student is also introduced to English literature — a literature that is unequaled in variety, quantity, and general excellence. Through this study and interpretation of literature, the student is encouraged to study and to think logically and critically, to express himself creatively, and to develop an appreciation for his own literature. Thus, he becomes more aware of his own cultural heritage and begins to have a better under- standing of man. Thomas J. Angelopoulos Mr. James P.
