Yamell Graduating Class of I2 C, 1953-54 This is the first Commercial class to graduate from Etobicoke Collegiate, and it has set high standards for future classes . Three years ago, those of us who preferred to work as a secretary, for instance, rather than a pharmacist, entered into the Commercial field of education. The Commercial subjects we studied in addition to English and science, are: shorthand, book-keeping, business arithmetic, typewriting, office practice, history of business and commerce, law, economics, correspondence, penmanship, and business machines, such as dictaphones and calculators . This course is a practical preparation for the student's future vocation, and many pupils can begin earning a living immediately after graduation from secondary school, rather than taking a special course in a private business college. To prove the practicability of this course, Dixie Sinkins learned enough in two years at Etobicoke to work at the well-known Kramer Motors every day after school, and on Saturdays also. We have been a conscientious class, because everyone has outstandingly excelled in at least one subject. Eleanor Wellwood proved herself a whiz reading short- hand faster than 200 words a minute. Henry Meck gave us, including teachers, a jolt when he racked up a score of ninety out of one hundred in a final business arithmetic exam. When we were typing graphs as a special project, Winnie Mowat had four or five professional-looking ones in before most of us had got started. Grant Newlove will probably make his fortune in bookkeeping, just ask him about receipts, payments, and basketball , and you could listen all night. Busy at the dictaphone, Anne Durant could keep a steady stream of mailable letters coming one after another. Marlene Kerath enjoyed clicking out a speed test at a rate of sixty-five words a minute. Besides holding that line in football, Paul Mantella could hold his own in school. Everyone, well-trained for secretarial work, could type at a rate of 40 to 50 words a minute, or more. Together, we had set up the first record of marks and standards. Now, after graduation, we are thoroughly qualified to do secretarial and office work for any number of types of firms and organizations. THINGS WE'VE NOTICED Joan Kazakoff: Reporting to Ding Dong Bell for Orders. Doreen Mitchell: Wearing a Pretty Sharp watch. Dorreen Taylor: Favourite Song: Dear John . Marion Coe: Ambition: To ride Native Dance in the Queen's Plate. Arlene MacGregor: Gulping her lunch to meet Ken. Carol Piggott: Asking What question is that again, mm--mm?'? Moira Speding: Favourite Song: Down by the Humber- side . Marion Notley and Eleanor Wellwood: lt's hockey night at Dixie. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN iF: Dan Hunt's lTexD supply of Western songs ran out? Barb Yarnell didn't talk about Bud, Maureen, and Ken . 53
