IOL Presents Realistic Office Atmosphere The Business Department at LaSalle consists of many different classes. One of the more intense training classes is IOL. It stands for Intensive Office Lab and is set up in a business-type atmo- sphere so as to prepare students for future work situations. Students are trained on computers such as Zeniths, Systels, and Apples. Students are also shown how to type, file, and organize papers. Each year the IOL and COE classes participate in district competition in various areas of business such as typ- ing, shorthand, and accounting among others. For several years, La- Salle students have brought back many awards from these competi- tions. This shows the talent and hard work all the teachers and students put forth in bringing pride to LaSalle. A.M.

Business Fuses Practical And Professional Skills The business department at LaSalle provides excellent courses that intro- duce the world of business to students. Included are subjects such as typing, shorthand, and accounting. New to the school this year is word processing where students learn how to type and organize material on a computer. It is believed by many that the only reason a person takes business classes is if he or she plans to pursue a career in business. These skills, however, can come in handy if a student has to type a letter, a report, or a college applica- tion. So even if a person doesn ' t plan a career in business the classes here at LaSalle still can benefit the student. Above: Valerie Witulski shows that word pro- cessing requires complete concentration. Right: During shorthand class, Vicki Clayton knows that practice makes perfect. Far right: Jill Cronk reflects on how much she hates manual type- writers. Below: Sometimes accounting can be- come a group project. Business 19
