Supply and Demand was the subject of the bulletin board which Harvey Sloop and Glenn Johnston used to make a point in D.E. Students who plan to work after graduation rather than go to college receive the most help from the Com- mercial Department, although many commercial stu- dents attend college. In this department students pre- pare themselves for jobs by taking Typing I, II, Short- hand I, II, Bookkeeping, Office Practice, and Secretarial Practice. Distributive Education classes prepare themselves for better jobs by gaining experience in many ways- by working, by studying salesmanship, and by study- ing production and distribution, among other things. Students learn how to dress and how to conduct them- selves in an interview, also. Moreover a knowledge of free enterprise is gained by the D.E. students. To test the proficiency of the student, many speed tests are given students in typing. Students Prepare For Jobs HQ AW? . , ' 4, PRICES gg 1 MRS. DONNA HELTON . . . High Point, B.S ....

Home Economics and Agriculture are two of the vocational subjects offered to the students at North. In Home Economics girls learn to plan and prepare well- balanced and appetizing meals and to sew. Agriculture offers boys a chance to learn about farming and other agricultural careers. Many hobbies develop from these courses. These boys also become familiar with tools used for sawing, sanding and planing. Home Economics and Agriculture classes teach prac- tical skills and offer chances to apply knowledge gained. Mrs. Ross and a group of her Home Economics girls made mints for the coming holiday season.
