Distributive Education MR. WAYNE PEED B.S. East Carolina College Marketing and Distributive Education Mrs. Creech is still trying to teach us our ABC ' s. Typing Here at S.H.S. we have many courses which prepare students for jobs after graduation. In the D. E. department students are told about all the business ethics, and how to be a good salesman. After the classroom training , they go out and have on-the-job training. This gives them the experience which they need in life. The sounds of ringing bells and the tapping of keys can be heard coming from this depart- ment nearly all day. Here sophomores and jun- iors learn the magic art of pressing keys and pro- ducing a flawless paper. Mrs. Creech also has classes of shorthand which follow right along with typing in preparing girls for secretarial jobs. 18 Now, be sure to get your figures right.

Home Ec. also includes construction and care of clothing and home man- agement. This year S.H.S. has added a third year of Home Ec. to provide the girls with the knowledge of the little things that make life more enjoyable. MRS. LOU WOODARD B.S.
