. ustangs business seemed to be on
~
M the right track. As students wan-

dered through the halls during open
hours, or perhaps on an errand, the sound of

whirring, filtered through the doors of the
various business classrooms.
There were several different types of
classes students were able to enroll in the
department. Classes ranging from Beginning
Typing to Office Procedures and Accounting.
Students found that business classes
were very helpfut to their general knowledge
and their future plans. Jill Riessleman, junior,
stated, "I'm really glad that I took . an
Accounting class, because it will help me
budget my money, I'm sure that sometime in
the future I'll need to refer back to those skills
I learned in class."
In addition to the basic classroom work,
there were several other opportunities offered
to students. Students were able to be placed
in working programs. In these programs, they
were hired for a job while at the same time
receiving activity credits for it.
Also, students could join the FBLA and
DECA organizations. FBLA, headed by
Advisor Jan Mullins had several fund-raisers
to earn money so members could go on local
business trips. They participated in the

and carnations. Seeking assistance from Business teacher Jay
