Seated: Mr. Clarkin; Dept. Chairman, Mr. Bradley Standing: Mrs. Costa, Miss Dar- deno, Miss Luceri Business With the help of Business Department teachers, students are taught skills which prepare them for jobs in business and in- dustry after graduation. A new concept in stenographic education has been added to the Business Department. A Norelco stenographic laboratory was installed on September 1. The machine laboratory has improved the teaching and learning of shorthand since it enables the student to progress at his own speed and to experience simulated on-the-job conditions. This year the co-operative work program has been expanded to allow more students to participate. Who turned the clock ahead? a;sldk . Now, what did I do with those directions? 25

Mrs. Young Industrial Arts The Industrial Arts Program is designed to teach boys special skills which will be useful to them throughout their lives, whether they use them in their profession, or for their own private uses. The courses are geared initially to the basics in printing, mechanical drawing, hand woodwork- ing, while the advanced student chooses a field in which to concentrate his studies. Home Economics Under the supervision of Mrs. Young, those girls tak- ing Home Economics learn many beneficial skills. The arts of cooking and sewing, nutrition, fashions, child care, and good grooming are among those taught. Home Economics plays an important part in the edu- cation of our girls, its main purpose being to prepare them for the future. 27
