individuals, should follow a moral code C. Jfurr and ti. Erdman listen with interest as . . Cosner tries to sett them a record album The world of business can be cooperative, competitive, or cut-throat. The moral backing which the high school student builds in his teen age days olten determines the kind of business- man he eventually becomes. Under the careful instruction of Mr. Roy Kraber, Mrs. Janet Felter, and Mr. Edward Kologie, our commercial students preoare to enter the business world upon graduation. Following several introductory courses in his freshman and sophomore years, a student may select the secretarial, clerical, or the distributive education course. In this latter course, students receive actual work experience along with their regular studies taken in the mornings. Secretarial courses include such subjects as office training, typing, stenography, and book- keeping, while the clerical consist of the same courses together with commercial math, sales- manship and business law. During the year commercial students visit many offices, factories, and plants in the Phila- delphia area to observe the practical application ol techniques learned in class. Also, every year many college preparatory students take typing and shorthand to aid them in their academic studies. Several D.E. students seized awards from the state lor their merchandise manuals. While Carol Murr copped a first prize, second honors went to Aurora Forsthoffer. As host for the D.E. Clubs of Pennsyl vania State Convention, Lansdowne-Aldan also received an award plaque.
