These were the ques- tions that many students asked themselves when they thought of employment. For those who chose to enter the business world, or even those who just wanted to learn something new, the Business Education Department sup- plied students with the in- struction and experience necessary to get a head start in business. The teachers in the Business Education Depart- ment endeavored to provide students with the olpportunity to attain practica learning experiences that would help them in their future jobs. Ac- cording to Ms. Cathy An- dringa. besides teaching necessary skills, the depart- ment also tried to create business-like atmospheres. Through the use of ap- propriate, up-to-date materials and special class activities such as mock trials in Business Law and office simulations in Vocational Of- fice Education, students were exposed to actual business environments. Aside from just teaching business techniques, many classes in the department also were beneficial to the school.
