13 Expands the Studies to Train Students Well This year the Business Education Department brought the actual office situation to the classroom by the addition of the Simulated Office class. Here students underwent training they will receive as new employees of the telephone company as service representatives. Taught by Mrs. Smith, the stu- dents of the Communications Unlimited, Lincoln Exchange took care of their twenty-five so-called customers, telephone accounts. A student in this class also learned the basics of any business. Form design and duplicating of stationary, preparing city and federal tax bills, applying correct telephone techniques, and answering correspondence letters were just a few of the procedures incorporated in the course. Q Because the role of the consumer is so im- portant the Consumer Economics class was brought back to Lincoln. This class, taught by Mr. White, emphasized personal finance and consumer interest which all adds up to how to avoid ini-lation. Other classes that make up the Business De- partment were Typing, Shorthand, Business Math, Office Machines, and Distributive Education. The D.E. classes ran the school store, the D.E. Den. All the classes in the Business Department were designed to train students for their future as businessmen, secretaries, or workers involved in business machines of all types. 5, ':::-Q.
