 Model Office Good Practice Business students had an opportunity this year to work 50 hours in a model office situation. Cosmetics were made and sold by the Serpendipity Company. In this company seven positions were filled: receptionist, simulator, office manager, sales manager, accountant, accounting clerk, and shipping clerk. Although there were difficult times, there were also humorous ones. The frustration of books that didn't balance and shipments supposedly late will be looked back on and laughed at. Six girls operated the office for five weeks at a time while the rest of the students were customers. After five weeks the students rotated. The model office provided a flow of office practice while requiring the cooperation of all employees. Bookkeeping did small projects throughout the year which demonstrated how to keep a set of books for different types of occupations. Students in D.E. 1 layed out and furnished a store or mall ana located it in a certain town and where they felt it would do the most good. Lori Mosier, SharonTaylor, and Liz Pend-rick, seniors, run the Serpendipity Company in Model Office Practice. Laura Powers, junior, receives help from Mr. feed on a bookkeeping project. Joanne finch, junior, is hard at work in the background. 28
