Mrs. Marion Healy Department Head Although the Business Depart- ment is essentially oriented to the student headed for business careers, a great many college-bound stu- dents have benefited from the busi- ness career development curricu- lum — especially typing I and typing II. The student planning a career in business has a wide variety of courses from which to choose, some of which include advanced type- writing, accounting, shorthand and office practice and procedures. The department also sponsors The Business Club. Other students elect business courses in order to broaden their areas of competence and ob- tain a better understanding of the business world.
