More college prep students were enrolled this year in or- der that their background might be of some commercial value to them after graduation. Even if a person does not enter the business world the commercial knowl- edge obtained in high school should be helpful in understanding and man- aging one's personal finances. For this reason the department has considered enlarging its courses in order that everyone might benefit.
