, The commercial, courses
offered at Flatonia High are
typing I and advanced typ-
ing, journalism and book-
keeping. These, courses are
taught to help individuals
obtain jobs in the commer-
'ejaf fields,
Typing is one.of tlio tew
courses that a cquires ‘physi-
cal skill. To .obtain this
skill, one must practice con*
tinnously.
Journalism in high, school
is.the study of editing,- man*
aging and publishing a
-school paper. The NEA
Journal says tjiis about
journalism:
“Increasing r e e ognitiun

ubiquitous solinci of radio.
-“These various kinds of
mass communication tell
what people think and feel,"

news is, but often not what

Athletics in the Flatonia
School:
• The athletic program is
iin integral {tart of the edu-~

perhaps, ilo more for a stu-
