COMMERCIAL EDU- CATION is concerned with the basic skills, un- derstandings, and atti- tudes needed by all re- gardless of occupation. It is concerned, not only with personal, social and civic growth, but with those interests and com- petencies that give breadth and depth to occupational preparation and activity. The Commercial edu- cation program provides for an exploration of fields of learning of in- terests, of abilities, and of occupational opportuni- ties. Business subjects such as typewriting and bookkeeping provide la- boratories for the person- al and social growth of pupils' skills and in social and occupational attitudes and habits.

The primary purpose of AERONAUTICS is to acquaint some Senior boys with a few of the elements that compose the Science of Aviation. These elements include Civil Air Regulations, Aircraft Identification, Code, Navigation, Meteor- ology, and the History and Development of Aeronauties. Aeronautics, as it is taught, is not designed to be a pilot training course, but rather, a familiari- zation course based upon several skills, each of which will further a military or civilian career.

In this re- spect, as the record shows, Mount Carmel ranks high as many of its stu- dents have not only gone on to college, but have also attained recognition on the type of faculty which encouraged these youths during their most impor- tant training period: that is during their high school years. A closer look at this group of teachers indicates that it is an un- usual faculty - dedicated to its pro- fession. This is indicated by the fact that over half of them have gone beyond required training for teachers, and have earned Master's degrees in different subjects. Our faculty has received its training from many dif- ferent institutions. Background of such variety gives our high school a valuable cosmopolitan scholarship. The students of this class wish to acknowledge and thank this faculty that has had the patience and ability to guide and teach us during our years in Mount Carmel High School. We know that our appreciation will deepen as we later come to realize the actual worth of our education. 'H
