Business Education Department: The Business Education Department at Weequahic, headed by Mr. Milton Kappstatter, has a two fold purpose. Its prime goal is to acquaint its students with those technical skills needed in the business world. It also trains them for various marketable skills. A wide choice of courses is offered, including stenography, typewriting, and office machine practice. Also given is a new course in alphabet shorthand, designed primarily for college-bound seniors. Alphabet shorthand is of great use in taking notes and can also be of advantage in part-time or summer employment. Although the department does not give advanced credit, many able students undertake advanced courses.

Several courses are offered which give Weequahic students a knowledge of the practical arts. Girls can take a course in either foods or clothing. Foods aims to develop the ability to plan, prepare, and serve the simple family meals and helps the girls acquire basic homemaking skills. They also are given the opportunity to practice good table manners, as they must eat the food they have prepared. An advanced foods course serves to further the acquired skills and knowledge of homemaking. The course in clothing, besides teaching sewing skills, helps girls to select the appropriate garments for different occasions and to economize in planning a wardrobe. Students are also given an idea of the difference between homemade and commercial garments. A course in advanced clothing is also offered. The industrial arts courses offered for the boys at Weequahic benefit the student in many ways. The shop course brings out the creative-ncss of the individual while it teaches him the correct way to handle tools and machines. The printing course concentrates on typography, presswork, binding, and the fundamentals of the silk screen process. The mechanical drawing course teaches its students to make precise drawings of sheet metal work and machines. This course prepares the students for a future career in engineering or drafting. The object of the architectural course is to teach the student how to intelligently design a liveable home and how to apply good building practices. As the student advances, he gets to design his own house. These courses are but a part of the solid educational foundation given all students at Weequahic High School. 1$
