Business Education Students entering business after leav- ing high school are well prepared by the Business Education department. There are two courses offered in the Business Education department-the stenographic and non-stenographic course. After taking the stenographic course consisting of shorthand and sten- ography, students may be employed as secretaries or stenographers. The non- stenographic course includes clerical practice, bookkeeping, typing, and office practice and leads to a variety of jobs. Science General science, biology, chemistry, and physics are offered by the Science department. The Physical Science Study Committee course in physics was taught to the superior ability class this year and will be given to others next year. Students have the opportunity to start science in their eighth grade and con- tinue on through twelfth grade. The science subjects taught are either in the television category or in the regular category.

JUNIOR HIGH A student is the pride of his school. But par- ents, students, and teachers surely differ on their ideas of what a true student is. Parents believe their son or daughter is the perfect image of a student. Their child is the best behaved, hardest worker, and the smartest of them all. As for the student himself, he believes his main job is to try to work up to this sometimes false impression his parents have set. He works on this task at home. At school, he agrees with his friends that a student is someone who goes to school. Teachers have yet another idea of a student. To them he is someone who is conscientious about his homework -and class work and is work- ing up to his abilities and plans for the future. In the student body, at Marshall, we have a large number of studentsg and some bodies that we are attempting to mold into students. Most of them will make the grade . . . with a little bit of luck and a lot of work.
