HELEN K. CHRISTIAN Central Connecticut State College, B.S. Shorthand I and II, Transcription. Office Practice, Business Machines BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Business is a hurry-scurry world vibrating with enterprise and activity. S.H.S. students plunging into this busy sphere are prepared to meet with its many problems. Through the study of business mathematics and bookkeeping, the student learns the detailed work of accounting and management. Typ¬ ing and shorthand, the basic essentials of secretarial work require concentration and precision. Office Practice perfects the student’s skill as a secretary and acquaints her with the responsibilities to her future employer. Our business depart¬ ment at S.H.S. affords her the opportunity to view the practi¬ cal and systematic method of business at work and to orient herself in advance to the world in which she will soon take her place.

EDWARD RICHARD McKEON Suffolk University, B.A. American History JOSEPH JOHN SINICROPE Trinity College, B.A. Civics, American History, Social Studies, Problems of Democracy SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT The world beyond the confines of the classroom is an interesting one: Lessons of the past, events of the present, and questions of the future are each con¬ centrated upon in the realm of social studies. In studying the results of Napoleon’s campaigns, the causes of the Civil War, and the working of inter¬ national justice, each student appreciates more the ac¬ complishments and failings of the past and under¬ stands better the happenings of the present. History gives the key that will open the doors to the build¬ ing of a more productive and peaceful future and affords the golden opportunity of appreciating the ideals, heritage, and goals by which Americans live.

Art ART DEPARTMENT As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.” Sir Lubbock, Lord Avebury Beauty must not be lost in this world of automa¬ tion. The purpose of art is that of inspiring people not merely to look, but to see into the life of things. Our art department, led by Mr. Christopher Horton, believes that creativity should be a facet of every student. Whether building a book end or painting an original oil and reaching beyond, formal knowl¬ edge gained in art courses are the key objectives. RAYMOND H.
