Honors Program helped their classmates this year. The French Club simulated a French cabaret (nightclub) on November 15 16, and ate at Jacque’s.

St. Joseph ' s College Gavit ' s Business Department, with over 25 semesters of credit-hours courses, has some- thing for everybody. Not only do Business courses give occupational training to those planning to enter the business world, many cover general information so that students can handle transactions they will encounter in everyday life. Course sequences in Stenography, Clerical Work, and Bookkeeping award students who complete about 13 Business and 21 academic semesters of designated courses a certificate in their specialized areas. Cooperative Occu- pational Education (C.O.E.) bridges the gap between job training and job placement by cooperating with businesses who apprentice senior Business students. Courses that are de- signed to educate the consumer about busi- ness deals and products, such as Business Law and Consumer Affairs, also help the business major understand the needs of his future patrons. Yearly increasing enrollment shows that students are concerned about everybody ' s Business. Mrs. Vella Johnson. Business. B.S. Indiana University 22 Learning
