Through the Business World we have come to see the importance of commerce On the list of courses offered at S. W. H. S., the commercial de- partment has a high popularity. The business course is very important because it prepares students for the immediate future as well as that which is years hence. Business affects everyone, every day. The different subjects which comprise this course strive to develop in the student a perfected skill which is vitally important in this modern world. This course offers many assets to the student as a person, also. In the midst of the skilled training goes the accumulation of the knowledge of how to meet and associate with people from all walks of life; how to sell, not only one ' s product, but also good will, as well as oneself. The commercial student is constantly striving for perfection under the force of competition, for perfection is her goal. Indeed, it is quite obvious to everyone that business plays a leading role in the drama of life. The subjects included in this course are: Typing I, and II; Short- hand I, and II; Office Practice; Bookkeeping; and Business Arithmetic. The members of the first year typing class are learning the fundamentals of typing a letter. (All except for one, that is.) Our top student secretary, senior Mary Lou Schalk, shows her ability as she busily types a letter for Father Walter. One of the first things the Shorthand 1 class learns is to be neat. The work done by the secretary not only reflects her personality, but that of her employer as well. Susan Thompson, Judy Gobel, Betty Miller, and Judy Relnhart are developing their skills. As Mr. Pocs looks on, these Bookkeeping students, Sandra Degan, James Miller, Mary Lou Schalk, Sandra Coleman, and Rodney Dell show their know-how in keeping systematic records of business transactions. 24

Our last high school retreat . . . Our weekly attend- ance at Mass as a group . . . Our last classes together . . . Our Senior athletic stars . . . Our Senior class trip . . . Our Junior-Senior prom . . . Our Graduation . . . Our Senior Breakfast. These are the main events of our year which hold fond, never-to-be-forgotten memories. These are the highlights of our year that we will remember as a class, but also with these we will carry the words which we have heard so often and of which we are very proud: The first class to graduate from the new St. Wendelin High School. Throughout our year these words have made each of these main events something special to us. Along with this honor, the trials, triumphs, joys, and sor- rows we have shared throughout the past four years will be cherished in the hearts of each and every member of this, the senior class of 1962. The first class to graduate from the new school
