Business Department Business Skills Developed by Practice i BUSINESS DEPARTMENT . . . Students in the Business Department at Reagan become adept at the skills used in the business world. Typing I, one of the more popular courses, teaches the students the keyboard and the parts of the type- writer. In Typing II the procedures for sending business correspondence such as letters and telegrams are studied with workbook exercises as aids. Typing III and IV are more advanced with emphasis on speed and accuracy. Shorthand teaches a brief, concise form of writing, and bookkeeping trains the student to keep correct and accurate records. These are special skill courses. Business law gives the student a first-hand knowledge of the problems encountered in big business.

Shortly after the begin- ning of school a number of new pieces of calisthenics equipment were added in the boys ' gym for use in physical education classes. Squat racks, a leg press machine, two new bench presses, four exergenic exer- cisers and four new sets of barbells aid in body building and achievement of overall physical fitness. Archery, golf, volleyball and tennis are only a few of the sports learned in girls physical education. Correct procedures and good sportsmanship are stressed, and each girl is expected to perform ac- cording to her capabilities. Another important aspect of PE is the required health course which is only one semester. Taken by juniors and seniors, the classes teach civil defense and first aid procedures. Drugs and smoking are studied as well as sex education. 220 — Administration Physical Education New Equipment Used To Build Bodies Ui Roberta Collard— B.S.
