Business The change from the safe cocoon of school life to the cold, gray world outside is a radical change. Modern America is synonymous with business. It is this field which offers the greatest number of job opportunities and future advancements. With this in mind, the Business Department strives to prepare its students for occupational success. . In Typing and Shorthand, office and college bound students work for speed and accuracy amid a maze of clicking keys and spiral notebooks. By investigating filing systems and actual office equipment, students in Bookkeeping, Recordkeeping, and Clerical Office Practice gain insight into office life. Business problems, such as tax forms and budgets, confront everyone. Economics and Business Law prepare the students for adult competence at the same time that they acquaint them with the past, present, and future of business and our national economic structure.

Home Economics Linda Persha, Sharon McPheron, Ellen Kosciolek, and Cheryl Rion set a lovely table. A timer rings. The aroma of cherry pie drifts into the room as a pan of cherry filling checked with golden crust is pulled from the oven. Careful plan- ning, mixing, pouring, and baking result in a de- licious product. At another time, sewing machines buzz and scis- sors slice through bright bolts of cloth as girls care- fully plan, cut, and sew their garments. A deep blue skirt, a yellow checked dress, a frilly white blouse are rewards for painstaking effort taken by the girls in this class. As a resuft of the guidance of Sister Mary fude these students leave their Home Economics classes equipped with skills and knowledge that will be of life long value.

This conclusion is entirely wrong. A student in mechanical drawing becomes familiar with the structure of blueprints and machine parts. This is very prac- tical for an ordinary person since sometime in his life he will be confronted with a stalled automobile or the blueprints for a new home or office building. Mechanical drawing in- structor, Mr. Terry, teaches students to put their T-squares, Compasses, and protractors to use in new and varied ways as they diagram intricate machine parts.
