LAMBERT GREENAWALT Head oi Department ENGLISH To TEACH English speech and composition as living, growing, changing mediums of self-expression, so that worthwhile ideas may be presented as effectively as possible, to teach the practical life interpretations of great literature as well as the artistic values always present in the work of literary mas- ters-these in substance, are the goals of the English Department. The present period of great change in ideals and the growing consciousness of man's responsibility to man, is being given close attention in this department. Students are being taught to respect the cultures of all nations, with the aim of eliminating racial prejudices. Through classic and cur- rent literature, radio programs, etc., prob- lems of peace are being studied in relation to the social, economic, political and educa- tional influences that constantly confront a free society. l Standing, Left to Right: Miss Porter, Dr. Danner, Mrs. Brillhart, Mrs. Schlegel, Miss Jacoby, Dr. Haar, Mt.

GORDON RUDY Head of Department THE Department of Business Education is de- signed to give training to the students of the community, for an opportunity to participate in the field of business. The Department has established a Cooperative Business Education Program in two occupational divisions. This cooperative program offers the students of the twelfth grade the opportunity to get actual work experience on the job along with the class room theory and skill practice. The employers have an opportunity to observe possible vocational aptitudes while the student is still in training. The Distributive Occupational training has been developed to give training to students in school during the morning and actual work experience in the stores and distributive services during the afternoon. The Office Occupational Training has been developed to give training to students in school one week and actual work-experience in the Business Offices during the alternate week. The Business Education program provides voca- tional development in the major fields of business training, namely, stenographic, accounting, cler- ical and distributive. The application of theory and practiced skills coordinated with work expe- rience offer potential business executives to the modern business world. W 22
