lei Courses Vary in Business Department About half of the student body had a class in the business department. Courses offered for the students were Typing I and Il, Shorthand I and ll, Business Law, General Busi- ness, Bookkeeping I and Il, Note- hand, Recordkeeping, and Funda- mentals of Business English. Also provided for the senior students were Vocational Office Education, Cooperative Business Education and Diversified Cooperative Training. These classes lasted about three hours every day and contained all business courses. Mrs. Linda Peacock, who was on leave last year, was back this year. Although there were no new busi- ness teachers this year the business department was well supplied with teachers and materials. Individual equipment was used by the business classes so that the ad- vanced students could go on. , rf .

Work Experience Students Hold Jobs Eighty ninth and tenth graders worked atjobs from fast food service to janitorial service to help their fam- ilies, or to gain experience, and got credit for it. They were part of the Work Experience Program whose students received three credits for working and for attending special in- struction classes at school. Large group instruction was offered for the first time. Ninth grade boys and girls and tenth grade boys and girls met in grade groups to hear re- source people from businesses, and the Chamber of Commerce discuss employability skills, such as attitude toward work and school, loyalty to employer and the relationship be- tween work and school. Next year, in accordance with state legislation, students in work experi- ence may receive credit towards early graduation for their'training. MR. E. A.
