FICK PRACTICE The objective of the secretarial department is to prepare students for future jobs as office workers. Each day Miss Carman presents a realistic office situation in class like those the girls will face some day as secretaries. Among the various activities is the use of office machinery. Each girl has an oppor- tunity to use the dictaphones, mimeograph, and calculator. This year new electric typewriters were purchased. The girls also practice the necessary skills, shorthand and typing. This course is an im- portant part of our vocational program and helps prepare tomorrow’s secretaries for their careers.

The major aim of biology and chemistry classes is to encourage a friendly atmosphere for learning about the environment. The tremendous emphasis today’s people place on survival causes students to strive for a better understanding of the entire situation. Each class experiment and lecture concerns the study of living things and materials in the earth and its atmosphere. A group discussion of class experi- ments follows with added observations and opinions. The final result is a complete evaluation that can be used as a building block for more complex study. Other lessons are approached as the class and Mr. Temple together venture into the exciting chapters of todays world. L7
