Business- A world of budgets and balances. Business Education The business education course offered a busy life for 203 Seniorites. Secretarial and cleri- cal sequences were offered with sixteen varied subjects under the direction of six teachers. Sec- retarial students majored in shorthand and cleri- cal students, in bookkeeping. According to a new Peinisylyania state law, each business education student must have two semesters of both mathematics and science. Pre- viously they had been required to have only one semester of mathematics and no science. This year the students had a chance to win shorthand pins. They took tests to determine their speed and the type of pin they would receive. In May, yarious local business firms co- operated in a work-experience program giving senior students an opportunity to use the skills they acquired during the past four years. The business department endeavors to ineet both the vocational and personal needs of its members. Edith M. Bell Myrna jane Boal Beverly Ann Burgeit Alice Lamb George E.
