BUSINESS Personal Finance is Added to Business Curriculum Fall of 1973 started out with a bang. Classes were filled with more than an average number of active eager students taking Typing I, II, bookkeeping and business law. Personal finance was add- ed to the business curriculum as a new elective for seniors. A work experience program was also taught in conjunction with the police department. The journalism class is also under the di- rection of the business teacher. The number of students per class beginning the year were Typing I, 14 students, Typing II, 3 students, bookkeeping 12 students, business law 3 students, and journalism 7 students. Then due to schedule changes brought about the ad- justment in curriculum (the reinstate- ment of the mathematics classes) in mid September, the classes lost students. The business courses that were offered were striving to give the students basic entry skills for a general clerical area of work or to prepare them for a higher education. Robert Beitel was the business and journalism teacher. 10, Business
