'Typing is my most important class. It's something I'll be able to use the rest of my life. Lewis Weikum, sophomore 22 Business Business Model office provides realistic new opportunities for students Mr. Elmer Lampe, business department coordinator, stated that he was very pleased with this year's Bus- iness Department. We had good, modem equipment which was up-to-date with the business world, re- ported Mr. Lampe. The Business Department staff consisted of Mr. Lampe, Mrs. Melinda Brown, and Mrs. Barbara Jensen. The model office, a new addition to the Business Department, was designed to simulate a real-life sit- uation. It provided students the opportunity to work in an actual business setting and gave them an intro- duction to an application of office policies and pro- cedures. Mr. Lampe stated that the goals of the business department were to equip and fulfill requirements for the model office, and to have better relationships with work students'--students who had been placed in jobs. The model office was well equipped with 20 new desks, each one providing a separate work station and including either a typewriter, an adding machine or a transcribing machine. The new desks were paid for by a federal grant. The Business Department enjoyed exceptional success in placing students in jobs. 'We had more job openings available than we had students to fill them, said Mr. Lampe. Mr. Lampe taught accounting, typing and office education. Mrs. Jensen was responsible for instruction in typing, shorthand and shorthand transcription, while Mrs. Brown was the instructor for office education, typing and office processing. In the office processing classes much work was done for the school itself, and also for the community. For- example, office processing classes made all the pro- grams for the school plays. Total enrollment in all business classes was estim- ated to be about 325 students. TOP: The annex across the street from the main building houses all the business classes.
