Business Students Many Hauser students took the opportunity of learning skills through various business courses to prepare them for future business careers. Among the items discussed in general business were bank reconciliation, correct reading of time tables, writing checks, and keeping simple business records. Typing I familiarized the students with the keyboard and stressed accuracy while Typing II built up speed and taught filling out business forms. Shorthand I and II prepared students for future secretarial work with the Gregg method. Business Math informed them about the basics used in the business world such as check writing, stocks and bonds, and money handling. Bookkeeping taught them to systematically record business operations. Senior Lynn Miller works diligently towards improving her speed and accuracy in Business Machines class. Posting entries in Bookkeeping, Steve Pumphrey finds it all a bit harder than he had anticipated. 20

Home Ec. Classes Prepare Students The Home Ec. Department at Hauser was found to be very beneficial to its students. Under the supervision of Mrs. Davis, the Junior High classes learned the basic skills needed in sewing and cooking. Although some problems arose in trying to make their own clothes, they were soon solved with the aid of the student assistants. On January 3, the girls modelled their fashions proudly to their mothers. Skills learned in Junior High continued to grow in the Senior High Economics classes. Mrs. Burney instructed the freshmen in comparing prices and quality in food merchandising. Sophomores, after taking Home Nursing for one semester, extended their knowledge of good nutrition into meal planning for children and patients. Planning a family budget and successful management were studied by the juniors. Senior Home Ec. classes created their own dream homes and learned important family relations. During the year, various field trips were taken by the students in the Senior High Home Ec. classes. The Bartholomew County Hospital was visited by the Home Nursing students. Girls in Senior Home Ec. took a tour of model homes, house trailers, and condominiums in the Columbus area.
