A. Manfred Varsity Baseball Typing Business Education Business courses and vocational education are an important part of many students ' educa- tions, particularly those who plan on entering the business world immediately after grad- uation. They are the most immediately useful of school subjects, because they are helpful in laying foundations for business careers and they provide useful skills for college education. Many careers become the goals of business education students. Some require further training, but many do not. Business training not offered at North Central is available at most of the professional business training schools in the Spokane area. North Central strives to maintain high standards in its business education fields. Classes olfered are: Two-year courses each in typing, shorthand and bookkeeping. Office practice and distributive education are one-year classes, whose enrollment is usually restricted to seniors. Mary York Commercial Club Bookkeeping

•ervice Staff; The office, cafeteria and custodial staffs were responsible for many details in the smooth func- tioning of the school. The office stall handled all absentee, dismis- sal and bookkeeping details in the school. Our secretaries were responsible for the compilation ol permanent records for all students of N C. North Central ' s clean halls bear silent testi- mony to the efficiency of the custodial staff. The custodians maintain the grounds and keep the electric and heating systems in proper work- ing order. Attractive meals and snack items were served daily in our cafeteria in the three lunc hes. North Central ' s cafeteria is a busy spot almost any time of day because the cooks are planning and pre- paring food on a continual basis. Custodial staff: Row 1. Zada Wendler, Hugh Leppell.

Language courses offer instruction in this ability in a variety of languages. With the technical advances in world communications, it becomes most obvious that an understanding of languages other than English is highly desirable. At North Central, French, Latin. Spanish and German are offered up to the third year. Only Latin and German have fourth-year classes, however. With the advance of audio-lingual methods, tape recordings, rec- ords and films have become key tools in the study of foreign languages. Advanced levels endeavor to understand more than language me- chanics and study culture and customs of the various lands. •A Donna Standaart learns to speak German fluently through using German puppets.
