English Equivalents in Grade 12- The English equivalents cover a field large enough so that almost every senior can choose the class he prefers. Three of the English equivalents offered are for students who like to write. They are Craftsman, the school newspaper, good for any student who has a nose for news; Tradewind, for those who always seem to be there when something happens; Crea-live VP riling, for those who use their imagination to make a little incident into a vivid original story or poem. The other equivalent, Radio Workshop, is for those who like to talk. Here students have the opportunity to be in plays and school programs, where they can acquire poise before an audience. Students who are not interested in the special English equivalents will automatically get basic communications and uorld literature. 23 Mr. David Johnson is explaining the day’s assignment to his Senior English class.

This course prepares students for employment as skilled men and women in business who can perform accurately on these machines. However, the student is frequently asked to do other clerical skills and so he is therefore trained in general clerical courses. In general business, emphasis is placed on intelligence, neatness, and efficiency. Students are given general experience in office procedure and office machines, os well as training in bookkeeping. All these skills are essential in the trade of stenography, although the basic skills of this course are shorthand and typing.
