£vsm JuAtiinq (pcujsA fan Jwin One On The JHS History Department can turn you on. One doesn’t have to worry about getting stuck literally in the Middle Ages, either. Henry the VIII or Marco Polo or Nebuchadnezzar aren’t the only personalities that history teachers know how to talk about. Of course if Henry the VIII and Marco Polo and Nebuchadnezzar turn you on, fine; we have English history and world history and ancient history just for you. If you enjoy something with more of a modern flair, we also have Current Events and Problems of Democracy. And if the United States fascinates you, we have American history at its best! All of our students found the history courses interesting and more informative this year. For all of us, what happened a thousand years ago became as exciting as what happened yesterday. Mrs. Margaret Bowes is chairman of the department.

Headed by Miss Kay Long, this department produces typists, bookkeepers and other workers for the business office. The Business Department is run on a type of IPI system, where each person may pro- gress at his own speed. Each year a work program is offered to those who qualify. In this program, beginning in January, students are placed in jobs in regular business offices throughout the city. Half of each day is spent in school and the other half at work. Upon graduation, these students are considered for full-time employment. Business students are very fortunate to be taught by such “tuned in teachers in a turned on department.
