Business grows with technology Business fbiz-ness! the area of economic activity that usual- ly includes trade, commerce, finance, and industry. Today the effect of the computer needs to be considered when one discusses business. This relatively new tool is revolutionizing business and our society. In recognition of the change, the Business De- partment offers two data pro- cessing and independent study classes in the field, said Mr. Stanley Clauson, depart- ment chairman. The Business Department was one of the early leaders in this field with large and growing enroll- ments. The Business Department of' fered much more than com- puter classes. Subjects ranged from Introduction to Business, which introduced beginners to the business world, through Business Machines 81 Word Processing, which gave the students an opportunity to use a variety of skills for an on-the- job situation. We are finally up to date with the four new Wang Word Processors. More and more businesses are using processors such as the ones we now have, stated business machines teacher, Mrs. Iane Franklin. All business classes offered a chance for students to face the real world with full force. l'I'd rather go straight to work once I graduate rather than go to a four-year college. The business classes here helped me make a decision on what I want to do after I graduate, said Laura Pannitto, business student. Many students have taken this attitude and are ready to face the competition of the business world. 42 Business Department Top: To build up her speed in short- hand, Maria Siadek uses the dicto- phone.
