Gloria Schmidt Mi»» Eloine Sommerfield Although Limestone students may spread out to the four or more corners of the building during the day, one place they will all meet, sooner or later, is in the area of lan- guage arts. The English department serves more students than any other, mainly because three years of learning the subtle- ties of our native tongue is required. Many students elect additional English courses such as creative writing and world literature. The new wing to be constructed will have certain effects on the English department and on the entire language arts area. The main effect the new wing will have on the English department is that of alleviating crowded conditions by allowing more rooms in the older part of the building to be used for English. Mr».

Hcodphonei help build ipeed in taking dictation. Limestone is proud of its business education department. About 600 students elected business courses this year, Mrs. Rosemary Lynn, chairman, stated. Commercial courses arc truly vocational, as many Limestone graduates go directly into the business world where the skills learned in high school courses have an immediate poyoff for them. Two years of typewriting and shorthand bring these skills to a level where secretarial employment is likely. Adding courses in bookkeeping, office machines, secretarial training, business law, clerical practice, and sales management, help make the Limestone business graduate ready for her job. Electronic shorthand equipment and key-punch machines may be added in order to keep up with the changing demands of the business world.
