WHS Office Education Lab In Second Year

The Wawasee high school office education laboratory is now in its second year of operation. Students in the lab work on a rotational basis, completing projects or jobs which are office-simulat-ed. Work stations established are: ( Office manager, assistant office manager, secretary-receptionist, office services clerk, supplies clerk, switchboard station, secre-tary-to-principal station, dental secretary station, and two stations where the students complete practice sets which are correlated * with their career objectives. This year the 14 girls enrolled in the lab are Peg Barber, Gloria Bell, Deb Brown, Tillie Miller, Sherrie Jackson, Nancy Gunderlock, Barb Miller, Pam Lewallen, Sandy Loetz, Chari Schell, Deb Jessop, Ginger Shipley, Deb Mishler, and Betty Sorensen. Training plans have been completed for all of the students. Two are preparing for legal secretarial work, four for private or executive secretarial occupations, and eight for clerk-typist occupations. The lab attempts to simulate an office situation. Filing cabinets, steel desk letter trays, a bookcase, and nameplates have been added this year to make the lab more “official.” In addition, visitors to the lab sign their names in a visitors’ log. In order for the lab to seem more realistic, several local businessmen have contributed materials and equipment for the students to use. Such things as letterhead stationery, window envelopes, legal envelopes, postage scales, labels, and reference materials have been contributed. A folding machine and an electronic calculator were installed in the lab for a few days for the students to use. Some weeks one period of the three-hour block of time is devoted to related instruction. Thus far, the students have studied business English, spelling, career opportunities, duties and responsibilities of secretaries, business vocabulary, reference books used by office workers, grooming, em-ployer-employee relationships, and handling of office mail. To further enhance their training, the lab students have taken field trips to United Telephone Company of Indiana and the Pitney-Bowes exhibit at the Shrine building in Warsaw. Modern office machines and office procedures were observed. A field trip to the Milford post office is planned in December. / On the switchboard station established at the school, the students receive training from Mrs. Robert Dellinger. The students have actual experience in making and receiving all calls at the school, greeting visitors, delivering messages to teachers and students, doing miscellaneous typing for teachers and administrators, and operating the public address system. Students who work on the sec-retary-to-the principal station work with Mrs. Robert Haines and the principal, Henry Smith. The students at this station act as receptionists, take dictation from the principal, do typing for teachers and guidance personnel, assist students, file school forms, distribute mail, operate duplicating machines, etc. Each day as the students enter the laboratory room they “check in.’’ Time cards are provided in a time card slot on the wall. The time cards are used in computing payroll at the end of each twoweek period. The lab students are "paid” a base pay of SIOO per week. They are given extra pay for bonus work completed. Deductions are made for absences, tardiness, and extra supplies used. Every time a student receives an F

on a job she must requisition an extra form from the supplies clerk to. repeat the job. Each business form has a different charge: Letterheads cost 10 cents; printed forms 10 cents.. bond paper 7 cents; carbon paper, 5 cents; stencil 10 cents; second sheet, four cents; etc. Evaluation of student work is a very difficult task. There are many factors to consider in this three-hour block class. The work station assignments are graded A plus or F. If an assignment meets all set standards and could be mailed, the Student will receive an A plus. If for some reason an assignment does not meet the set standards and could not be mailed, the student will receive an F. All papers, mailable and non-mail-able, are returned to the students the next day after they are submitted- T h e student must retype or correct (depending on the seriousness of the error) the nonmailable assignment at the beginning of each day before she continues with her next regular assignment. One of the responsibilities of the office manager is to check the assignments for mailability. She places an A plus or and Fon each assignment she checks. The teacher then rechecks the grades assignments to see if

the office manager has found all of the errors. Evaluation is based upon quality and quantity of work completed, extra supplies used, attendance, tardiness, and use of time. Very few tests are given in the laboratory. The reason for this is that on the job there is no testing; therefore, there is very little done in the class. Evaluation takes place daily, rather than weekly, as probably would be the case in a testing program. The advisory committee for business education is also very active in advising the teacher on new office procedures, new equipment used in the area, grading standards, etc. Those serving on the committee this year are David Spray, Mrs. Norma Hamilton, Mrs. Robert Kitson, secretary; Mrs. Robert Clevenger, Mrs. Robert Ritchie, and Mrs. Richard Shipley, chairman. Mrs. Spray and Mrs. Shipley will be working with Mrs. Hoy on the development of payroll and purchasing work stations. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Brookwood and son of Munster have returned to their home after spending a week in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bill S. Betes and son, Bob at Syracuse.
