BUSINESS In the Business Department students are not only trained to get jobs, but to hold them after they are secured. Through the study of bookkeep- ing, typing, and shorthand, students became pro- ficient and dependable, well able to handle secre- tarial work in a business office. Through these studies accuracy as well as skill are developed. It is found that business students also need knowledge in business principles, business law, economic geo- graphy, and commercial arithmetic, so these are provided in the Business Department. The depart- ment is very efficient and up-to-date in all of its courses and methods. At the head of the Business Department is Mr. Boland, who directs the work in a capable, competent way. ENGLISH With the increased enrollment, the English Department now has twenty-three teachers. The advancement of this department is shown by a growing library of most modern books for English teachers, special texts for pupils reading enjoy- ment, and the organization of the English Depart- ment group as a member of the National English Council. Through the use of the blue Fundamental booklets, the students are taught the use of correct English, both oral and written. As they study good literature, their appreciation for it is developed. Public speaking, journalism, and dramatics are special courses offered, which have proved both popular and helpful. Under the able leadership of Miss Bright, this department is progressing rapidly in its work. SOCIAL SCIENCE Every student of Murphy High School comes in contact with the Social Science Department be- fore graduating. Seniors are required to take the interesting and instructive course in American History. Students especially interested in social science have a large and varied field from which to select. Important world movements of the past are revealed in Ancient and Medieval History, while they keep abreast of the times as they study Current World History and Modern European History. Included also in this department are courses in civics, economics, and social problems. These deal with the government of America today and the problems which face it. Miss Sallie Withers directs this department which fits Murphy students for better citizenship. 24
