BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Now would I tell a lie? Mr. Bradley, Miss Dardeno, Mr. Clarkin, Department Chairman, Mrs. Dalton. The Business Department is concerned not only with preparing stu- dents for a business career but also in training them in the knowledge, attitudes, and non-vocational skills needed by all persons to be effec- tive in their personal economics, and in their understanding of our business-economic system. There are three tracks in the Business Curriculum; Secretarial, Ac- counting and Clerical, each having appropriate courses. The business Department also hopes to aid its students develop business-economic literacy and to become intelligent consumers of goods and services. For the past three years the students have had an opportunity to participate, on a selective basis, in a co-operative work experience program in conjunction with the local business community. The Business Department offers the following courses: Typing I, II and personal, typing, shorthand I, nd II, Bookkeeping I and II, Gen- eral Business, Office Practice, Retail and Sales, Business Law Business Management, and Advanced Secretarial Training. “Would a secretary do that?” “Good morning, NorthRead- ing High School, C-9, Mr. Clarkin speaking. May I help you?”

For the extra benefit of its students, the Lan- guage Department includes in its program a lan- guage laboratory. In the “lab” (as it is known to students), students can listen to tapes of conversa- tions, essays, songs, and quizzes. The student can also tape his own voice and play back the tape to hear his pronunciation. Oh-h Jungle Rot!” The literature of the language is presented to the students through plays read during the year, short stories, and its great novels. Further devel- oping the students background and interest, activi- ties such as Latin Club provide the opportunity to learn about the history and daily life of the people of the language. “C’est la main.”

HOME ECONOMICS Under the instruction of Mrs. Young, the girls who desire to take Home Economics learn many things which will greatly benefit them. Among other things the girls learn about styles, color combinations, and the correct procedures in cooking and sewing. Home Ec is a very worthwhile and enjoyable course. The Industrial Arts instructors are Mr. Sticklor and Mr. Vennard. The Industrial Arts courses are designed to teach boys skills which will be useful to them throughout their lives, such as printing, me- chanical drawing, and woodworking. The projects of the students can be seen in the Industrial Arts showcase near the gym. INDUSTRIAL ARTS
