116/Business
Some 900 students were
enrolled in or more of the
business courses, giving the
business department the
largest number of students in
a non-required curriculum.
Since all the courses were
electives, many students
enrolled simultaneously in
additional courses, according to
Mrs. JoAnn Calhoun, chairman.
Advanced courses in typing,
shorthand, and bookkeeping
furthered the students' abilities
and provided for additional
skills.
Field trips extended the
courses of study beyond the
classroom, as business law
students attended a session of
court, and data processing
classes visited computer
centers at local banks.
Bookkeeping II students visited
a stock broker' s office.
COE and FBLA extended
experiences beyond the •
classroom as they involved
students in extracurricular
activities related to the
business fields.
