Wide Variety of Courses Offered in Business Field Realizing that many students will enter the business world after graduation, FLHS has a large commercial department to prepare students for office jobs. Typing is offered as a one-year course to any student in grades 9—12, with adult evening classes offered to members of the community, under the guidance of Mr. Buys. In these classes a student learns the basic skills of typewriting, with emphasis on speed and accuracy. Office practices, which has typing as a pre-requisite, further develops a student's typewriting ability, while teaching him how to operate business machines such os the adding machine, mimeograph, and dictating ma- chine. The course followed by an office practices' student represents the job of an office worker in the present business world. Shorthand prepares a student for a position as a stenographer. In bookkeeping, a student is introduced to the bookkeeping processes of many businesses. JACK L. BUYS Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of The- ology degrees from Allegheny College, Meadville, Penn.

It takes practice, and plenty of it, to learn to handle office machines. Gary Nelson uses the model switchboard, Sharon Behm, the dictaphone, while Henrietta Gregoire prac- tices on the electric typewriter as a part of on office practices assignment. A trial balance comes in for close scrutiny by Mrs. Goodman as Sandra Rioux puzzles over the mechanics of bookkeeping in this senior high commercial course, where students examine ma- terials and procedures of the modern business world.

Back for a second year, Mr. Raffery's Latin II students con- centrated primarily on transla- tion of material pertaining to Caesar's Gallic wars and an- cient Greece and Rome. Addi- tional grammar and syntax, as well as vocabulary, provide a background for language courses offered to students in college. The new Spanish class of- fered this year proved to be a real success stated instructor, Mrs. Szabla. A spicy Spanish dinner, held in The Boca Chica Broiler, served to acquaint stu- dents with Spanish food and customs. Besides learning to speak and be understood in Spanish, Mrs. Szabla's students acquired new concepts of Spanish-American culture. Spanish is similar to Latin in that it acts as a stepping stone to college courses.
