BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Mrs. Pauline B. Harvey Mrs. Mary C. Roberts Mrs. Catherine G. Lincoln One of our aims in the Business Education De- partment is to help make the transition from high school to the initial job a satisfactory one for both the student and the employer. We feel that we can accomplish this by using the latest textbooks and teaching methods in developing the skills required for the clerical and stenographic jobs. FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Mrs. Caroline C. Tucker Mrs. Beverly D. Hill Mrs. Joanne F. Lee The Foreign Language Department hopes that in teaching children Latin, French, Russian or Spanish we will enrich their lives with a language other than their own, and also with a glimpse of the life, people, and customs of the lands in which that language is spoken.
