Business Classes meet requirements of business fields Mrs. Dorothy Bumgardner shows Nancy Underhill the use of the lBM machine. Business is an important part of today's world. The Business Department trains students to meet problems of this field. The Business Department prepares the student to handle the requirements of various job fields. Secretarial, bookkeeping, merchandising, and clerical are the areas offered in business. Classes included in these fields are business machines, typing shorthand, bookkeeping, and CPT. This year, to aid college bound students, MHS offered a course in College Skills. This course was designed to teach students the proper methods of note taking, a form of shorthand, and the proper way to type out a thesis. Typing, shorthand, and filing are essential classes for those who wish to become secretaries or bookkeepers. An aid to the teachers is the CPT, which has students print tests, study sheets, and other items for teachers. The head of the Business Department is Mrs. Virginia Johnson. 'M if ,- vs st.
