Woman ' s College The constant click of typewriters in C building each day reminds us of the students who are preparing to enter the business world. The two years of typing offered here at Southern provide a basic foundation on which to build the stu- dent ' s knowledge of business. In order for the student to gain a more complete knowledge of the mechanics of the business world, he may take two years of bookkeeping, two years of shorthand, and one year of office practice. The ex- perience gained through the study of these courses will better prepare our stu- dents to meet the challenges that will face them in the world of business. anouaaes Miss Elizabeth Ward A.B.

Catawba Southern ' s students travel from the Coliseum in Rome and the Champs- Elysee in France to Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico through their respective language courses. Two years of Latin are offered to those of us who wish to study the exploits of Caesar and the works of Cicero, Ovid, and Virgil. In a period of two to four years, the broad streets of Paris, the customs of the French people, and the many historical structures of that country become familiar to all French students. For those who are interested in South American people and their customs as well as the language, two years of Spanish are available. 23

State Mr. James Teachey B.S., N.C. State Vocational education is one of the largest departments at Southern. These vocations include home econ omics, agriculture, distributive education, and industrial cooperative training. In home economics, our girls learn the basics of cooking, sewing, and other things which help them to become good home- makers in the future. A study of agriculture teaches our boys about farming, build- ing techniques, using tools, and a score of things which can prove helpful in the future. OurD.E. and I. C.T. students are taught the mechanics of the business world. Then, they put to work what they have learned by securing a full or part-time job during the school year. Through the guidance of our teachers in the vocational edu- cation department, our students gain knowledge and experience which will be helpful throughout their lives. Mr. Alton Wilson B.S., N.C.
