We all stress academic excellence, said Tom Raw- son, chairman of the 12- man social studies depart- ment. There were no females in the department, which Rawson feels may be the reason for a certain lack of female opinions. Each department member does, however, do his best to present both sides of issues instead of trying to sell only his own views. This year the department went through the process of a Social Studies Curriculum Study. Rawson commented on this study. It would appear that we are going to have an additional two semester requirement for social studies courses. We spent a lot of time working on this study. A federal study in this area also reinforced what they found. 105

Many skills are taught in this two hour class. Besides typing and shorthand, they also learn telephone ans- wering techniques, ma- chine transcription, word processing, filing, and han- dling mail. They learn how to use memory and electronic typewriters and electronic calculators. In addition to the class, the students also work at part-time jobs in their car- eer choice. Businesses around Dubuque give these students jobs in the areas they choose. Office Education is taught by Elizabeth Hogan. She teaches the class and also sections of office train- ing. In the afternoon she evaluates the students on their job, observes them at work. The members of the class are automatically members of O.E. Club. The club's functions are social, civic, and fund-raising activities. The Department is cur- rently investigating the pur- chase of a word processor machine that would be used in Office Education and other business classes. Some of the outstanding students in Office Educa- tion were Nancy Nagel, who was a secretary at the Personnel Department at William C. Brown, Linda Riedle, who was a secretary in the Trust Department at American Trust and Sav- ings Bank, and Shelly Gremore, who was a data entry clerk at the Atten- dance Office at Hempstead.
