Business education department adds Distributive education or at least its beginnings have come to High- land High School. With their recent move into a new, more spacious and modern wing, the business education department added one more class to its already diverse curriculum. Sales- manship was an innovation this year as a class in practical learning and application. Future executives learned the complexities of running a corporation and studied for their future roles and occupations as community leaders with applied economics and clerical prac- tice classes. Business law also offered to those who wished to gain insight into the technical phase of the business world. Secretarial training or back- ground for students wishing to take faster notes was given in shorthand and notehand classes. Typing was also one of the electives offered by the depart- ment. Bookkeeping and the processes of office machines were taught to be vital parts in the efficient running of a business office. By diligently working with the machines and methods of modern bookkeeping, students of today prepare to be the business leaders of tomorrow.
