BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The Business Education Department is headed by Mr. Alge Vaitones. Students taking business courses receive ex- cellent training that enables many of the graduates to as- sume jobs in the business field immediately upon gradua- tion. Other students go on to receive further education in other fields. However the skills and training they receive from this department are invaluable in their chosen voca- tion, whatever it may be. The development of selected busi- ness skills in the classroom enable the business student to take his place confidently in the business world. THOMAS J.
