Business and Math Add Up Sr. Frances Elvire, math teacher, became bookkeeper this year. Alterations were made in the Mathematics Department when Sister Frances Elvire took on the additional duties of being the school bookkeeper. She still taught Algebra II and trigonometry, while Mr. Bill Smith and Mrs. Jane Carie split her first year algebra into two classes and Sister Francetta taught geometry. Mrs. Carie also taught the seventh and eighth grade math classes. Giving business students on- the-job training was Miss Sheila Jones’ main objective of the year. One innovation added in Typing II found the students “employed by teach- ers as personal secretaries. The Business Department in- cluded its usual typing, short- hand, and accounting classes along with personal typing. These classes, together, made an interesting display for the Catholic Education Fair. 8 Miss Sheila Jones, business teacher, addresses her class.
