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.
