Miss Nancy Sides, chairman of the Business Education department, works with the other busi- ness teachers to provide a knowledge of business practices to both the commercial and academic students. Distributive education, typing, general business, shorthand, record keeping, and bookkeeping rank high on the list of favored business education courses. Office practice, and vocational office training, taught by Miss Carolyn Arnold, are two new business subjects offered to the students. These courses are co-ordinated to provide a well-balanced and harmonious program. Students, upon completion of the business education course, are prepared to advance to the challenges that the business world offers, and are ready to become the business leaders of tomorrow.

Studies Personal finance, economics, and government are three new courses which have been added to the Social Studies department this year. The United States history, world history, and geography have been maintained for the junior and sophomore sections. An innovation, team teaching, has been introduced by Mr. Grover Johnson and Mrs. Ann Apperson in the government course. The gov- ernment classes are organized to include such activities as mock elections, congresses, and trials. A study of the nature of communism is incorporated into the classes to enable the seniors to contrast the communist and democratic systems of government. Other social studies classes fea- ture debates, panel discussions, and current event analyses. Mr. Bell ' s history classes have sub- scribed to an educational program offered by the New York Times. These history courses give us a knowledge of our past so that we may better understand the present and perhaps foresee the future.
