Secretmfial Offerings are elective. lt you vvoultl be .1 gootl secretary, just tome along vvith me-so says Miss Spellman who teaches the secretarial subjects in the Business Department of Greenwood. Beginning typevvriting is open to all stu- dents from the tenth through the tvvellith grades. Setontl year typevvriting gives training in business reports, telegrams, manuscripts, legal documents, letter styles, and many other business forms on both the manual and elec- tric typevvriters. Duplicating machines also prove quite interesting and helpful for making many copies. A secretary must be able to take dictation rapidly from his or her employer, so shorthand is offered lor those vvho are ambitious to enter the field of business. Many find it quite useful for note taking nowfrancl, of course, it will prove much more so in college. The Business Department attempts to give training and experience to students so they may accept responsible positions even after gradua- tion from high school.

Om' homemaker can obtain ber goals. A great deal of pride is taken in the Vocational Home Economics Department at Greenwood. Wfe have three useful and well- ecluipped rooms at our disposal. Our bright cheery laboratory has three kitchens conven- iently arranged with all ,the latest facilities. There is also an attractively furnished dining room as well as a valuable sewing room. Under the supervision of Miss Richard- son, the students in Home Economics I are taught the basic skills of cooking, sewing, budgeting, and home decoration. Through home projects they are able to apply their knowledge outside of class, and at the same time do things which are profitable for them- selves and their families. Home Economics II offers the same units, but in more advanced stages. In this class, the potential homemakers are allowed to do any work their abilities will permit. Boys, as well as girls, have realized the value of knowledge in this field and are taking these courses. SARA M. RICHARDSON Supervisor of Home Economics, was awarded her B.S. from S.M.S. and her M.E, was awarded from Missouri University.
