Students Prepare for Business es It would be a lot easier if we could count on our fingers. The Business Education Department is staffed with eleven teachers and two educational secretaries. Approximately 1200 students make up the enrollment of such classes as typing, . business law, business machines and economics. Cooperative training programs which enable the student to secure a stable job are also provided. During the past year the Business Education Department equipped a double typing classroom with IBM electric type- writers, and added an electronic shorthand laboratory. This ; laboratory has a transmitter and three tape recorders, which ' gives the student an opportunity to progress at his own dicta- tion speed. | MISS BETTE MISS SHARON MR.

Language Labs Promote Fluency | This year’s Foreign Language Department is composed of over 41% of Wakefield’s students with the most popular of the languages being French. The staff consists of a full time secretary and eleven teachers. Because the department now | offers four foreign lanugage laboratories, a student is able ' to develop a more fluent language. He has a choice of either | four years of Latin and German or five years of French and Spanish. MR. GILL MISS HARRIET MRS. HELEN MRS. NAOMI MR.
