OUSINESS This year af North, a new member was adopted into the already large family of business classes — Typing Ill. Typing Ill, a semester course, required a prerequisite of af least one year of typing. Typing Ill gave students the chance to improve their typing skills. The purpose of this addition to the Business Department was to allow students to improve accuracy, especially the typing of lefrers, manuscripts, and tabulations. Mrs. Sandra Mitchell confirmed thar she “felt thar Typing Ill gave students the opportunity to learn more about the skills of typing.” Stu- dents interviewed felr thar improved typing skills would help them ger a better job. Typing Ill was not, of course, the only type of business class offered at MN. Ac- counting, Marlketing, Shorthand, and Data Processing, to name a few, were among the other areas of business study. Junior Darlene Ditto commented about her Short- hand class, ‘1 thinks it’s fun and ir helps me take better notes in my other classes. ”’ The enrollment in some of the business classes increased to the point where rhere were more students than machines. The Keypunch classes and Business Slills classes had too many sfudents and nor enough office machines. The students had to take turns using the different machines. This fact alone signifies the tremendous progress of the Business Department. Business 183
