BUSINESS AND D. E. Business Education courses offer many op- portunities to both college-bound students and to those who plan to start work immediately after graduation from high school. Typing I and II, while designed primarily for those planning a secretarial career, are invaluable aids to college- bound students. Shorthand I and II and Book- keeping are available to others preparing for a career as a secretary, bookkeeper, or in some other form of office work. A practice room, equipped with ofhce machines, is used by the girls in the office practice class. Distributive Education combines part-time work experience with classroom training. In the classroom, D. E. Students learn the economics of wholesale and retail selling, the rights of the customer, the duties of a salesperson, and such mechanics of salesmanship as recording sales and setting up displays. Courses in these two departments enable stu- dents to become qualified employees and useful citizens.
