BUSINESS Mr. To acquaint the student with business procedures, the Busi- ness Department offers courses in typing, shorthand, book- keeping, business law, and business arithmetic. Many students have realized the value of these courses in securing office positions for their spare time, while others find the courses helpful in everyday use. Advanced business classes try to simulate actual business situations as part of the training.

SCIENC The increased interest in science in recent years has af- fected the Science Department with the addition of new classes, new teachers, and more exacting requirements. The science student is offered botany, biology, chemistry, and physics. As well as performing assigned experiments and making ob- servations in class, the student is encouraged, by competition in the Science Fair, to explore the field which interests him. Many students, after entering college, realize the value of the background they have received in this department and learn to appreciate its methods.

Through realistic and abstract approaches, students are urged to reproduce their interpreta- tions of subiect matter. ln commercial art, students pursue those principles essential to advertising, while more creative undertakings are encouraged in other art and crafts classes. To add interest-to this program, competition is encouraged, field trips and exhibits are planned, and works of students are offered for sale. Even more encouragement is offered by the Art Club, which presents speakers to inform the student of opportunities in this field. Beatrice Dunning Music students, through participation in different programs and activities, enrich school life. Chorus, orchestra, band, music history and appreciation, and harmony provide a varied field from which the student may choose. Not only does he gain a background in music, but he also profits from cooperation with others, which is so essential to a musical performance. Hzaffallwfff 45,477 77 ,pwfllwc Lois Ruth Mitchell N. J.
