Skills Lab teaches office techniques The major development in the business department this year is the addition of the skills lab. This is a program where students work independently on business machines and business courses. To receive credit in this class, students must fulfill requirements set for their particular course. The purpose of this type of class is to allow students to work at their own rate, receiving teacher guidance only as the need arises. The student store, established by the business department last year, was run by distributive education students under the direction of Janet Gunderson. Through distributive education, students learn the basics of business. The business concepts marketing, merchandising and other business procedures are taught through projects in the classroom. This classroom knowledge is then put into practice by the students at their after school jobs. The students receive both pay and school credit for their efforts. Although there have been many new additions to the business department in the last few years, the department continues to offer beginning courses in typing, shorthand and bookkeeping.
