Paying close attention as they practice in typing I are Steve Potter, Betty Sears and Bonnie Somerville. Offering two years each in typing, shorthand and bookkeeping and one year of office practice, the business education department prepares graduates for office positions. Valuable personal-use information may also be obtained. For vocational use, the student should plan a schedule to include four semes- ters in either bookkeeping or shorthand. Enrolling in these subjects during the last semesters of school will mean that the skills will be usable when the student enters the business World.
