Margaret Englehart The Business Department is so set up to give Troy students a firm background in the develop- ment of business techniques. ln Gregg short- hand, students learn to take oral dictation and to retype it in business form. Typing courses stress both speed and accuracy, and help stu- dents learn to use various types of typewriters. Bookkeeping, the process of balancing accounts, is a one year course, as is record keeping, the technique of keeping files and records. Practical experience in the use of office machines is also offered, particularly in the senior course, Secretarial Practice, where girls learn to use dictaphones, adding machines, calculators, mimeograph machines, and copy machines. 17

However, it is not intended to provide the specialized depth of training needed to learn a trade. The courses offered at Troy High School are machine shop, woodworking, foundry, welding, electricity, mechanical drawing, graphic arts, power mechanics, and shop mathematics. Through these courses we attempt to help the students: develop good work habits and attitudes that will be help- ful in iobs of a routine or repetitive nature, use the tools, materials, and processes of industry, develop an understanding of the importance of industry and labor in our American way of life, develop skills to qualify for initial employment, develop an understanding and appreciation of the work of others, gain a knowledge of the changes made in materials to meet the needs of society, concentrate their development of knowledge and skills in selected areas of work, and develop proper attitudes toward the application of safety practices.
