BUSINESS COURSES OFFER PRACTICAL EXPERI Gm, ' . The business students of M.H.S. en- joy a number of varied courses. They can learn everything from typing asdf to multiplying and dividing with a comp- tometer. One way to finish an assignment more quickly is to type it out--thus, you will see manyM.H.S. students pounding away at typewriters from first to sixth hour. Students also take shorthand, both for the experience it will give in future life and to ease up on writing cramps during a note- taking session. Other courses offered are bookkeeping , office machines, commercial arithmetic and commercial law. 19 ENCE These girls discover how much business cours es mean to them as they help Miss Pluter in the of- fice.

LANGUAGES YIELD CU LTU RAL APPR ECIATICDN in The languages offered, of which Latin is one, provide a challenge in interest and information to the modern student. r il. By the use of a tape recorder and records, French becomes a more interesting language to students. 21 English is required of all students in 8th thru 11th grade. Today, our language classes no longer teach only language and grammer. Stu- dents now learn the history, literature, dress and even the food of the country whose language they are studying. Students of M.H.S. enjoy Latin and French as the foreign languages offered. These same students also go through three years ofrequired and one year of elective English courses. For these courses they study American and English literature, write themes, dip-up forgotten grammer and learn how to use the library correctly . Included in the Language Department is a fine public speaking course.
