Commercial: Unlimited Opportunities Speed is essential in taking dictation. Opportunities in the business world are numerous to qualified high school graduates. Our Com- mercial Department trains students as efficient and competent office aides. With the adequate facilities at Garinger, students learn in the atmosphere of an office. The ex- perience obtained here is valuable later when students are on their own. With a selection of courses, which includes typing, shorthand, and data processing, the business student is well prepared and quali- fied to accept the responsibility of an office job upon completion of his course.

New Opportunities in Home Ec. Homemakers in today's world have opportunities beyond the lim- ited possibilities offered them as cooks and seamstresses. In addi- tion to learning cooking and sew- ing, Home Economics students this year had the opportunity to partic- ipate in a Cooperative Education program. Students worked two hours each morning at Shamrock Elementary School as teacher aides. Regular departmental activities included visits to a poultry farm, arranging showcase windows in 100 and 300 buildings, hearing a clothing representative speak, and dining in a restaurant. These activ- ities were offered to boys as well as girls. Home Economics classes educated students in the fine art of making a house a home. Girls Mrs. Virginia Boyd Mrs. Willa Carson Mrs. Frances Ryan 28 learn from experience. It's sew easy!
