Mrs. Ensminqer, Miss To teach English speech and composition as living, growing, changing mediums of self- expression and communication, so that worth- while ideas may be present in the work of literary masters-these in substance, are the goals of the English Department. The present period of great change in ideals and the grow- ing consciousness of man's responsibility to man, is being given close attention in this de- partment. Students are being taught to respect the cultures of all nations, with the aim of eliminating racial prejudices. Through classic and current literature, radio programs, etc., problems and attitudes relating to peace and war are being studied in relation to the social, economic, political and educational trends and needs that constantly confront a free society. An effort is also being made to teach what the responsibility of citizenship means in daily life.

NW' SYBEXQXNG' -ESP' 9 9 inom' Mr. longs' TEGIE The primary purpose of the Business Education Department is to train the individual for full participation with maximum effectiveness in the business community where he or she is likely to find employment. In addition to this vocational aspect, the student is provided with a general background which is planned to train for good citizenship. The curriculum is so designed that a program is offered which will best fit the individual needs, interests, and abilities of the students planning for a business career. To correlate class room theory and skill prac- tice with actual work-experience, the Business Education Department offers two avenues of cooperative training. The first, and older of the two programs, is the Office Occupational Training. Senior students are provided the opportunity of working full-time alternate weeks in an office in the community where they receive work-experience. During the weeks when these students are not in the office, they attend their regularly scheduled classes, and another student replaces them. The other cooperative program, Distributive Education, was developed under the George Deen Act, and provides training to students who attend school during the morning, and perform actual experience in local stores or other distributive occupations during the after- noon. All of the services of the Distributive Education program must be in direct Contact with the customer, in an over-the-counter operation. Prospective employers are thus afforded the op- portunity of observing prospective employees prior to graduation: and conversely. the students are provided valuable practical ex- perience which is so helpful to a new prospect on his entrance into the business world. The program of the Business Education De- partment is so arranged that students major in stenography, bookkeeping, clerical work, or distributive education.
