Business, the guiding force in the American economic structure, must be kept strong and vital. The business students recognize that this requires land. management, working capital and trained personnel. Overlea attempts to meet the special demand for business personnel through both general and stenographic commercial courses. ln these two courses a student may find subjects that will aid him in achieving his goal whether it be as accountant, secretary or administrator. Areas of study include typing, shorthand, bookkeeping and retail selling. ln addition the academic students frequently elect a course in business law and economics. To give the senior business students a glimpse of the business world they are about to enter, the department sponsors an annual trip to New York. where the students see the New York Stock Exchange in action, view the pro- cedures in a large office, and watch the transactions at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
