No, that wasn ' t a telephone, nor was it the sound of the bells which rang continuously throughout the day. But it was the ring of the clock which told typing students their time was up. Yep, they had to stop typing. That among other remarks such as, ‘‘Don’t forget to un- plug your typewriters,” and ‘‘Add your figures correctly,” were common ex- pressions which penetrated closed doors in the business department. Future Business Leaders of America, an extracurricular activity, made business students more aware of com- munity projects, such as ROT, SPCA, and March of Dimes. Members showed parents and community friends a- round school for College Night and promoted other services to the school and community. To develop leader- ship members were required to plan activities, give reports at meetings and take part in regional and state conventions. They sold homecoming flowers, and calendars. At the same time they promoted interest in busi- ness skills by holding spelling and mathematical contests within the club. 24
