53 LIJELLA A. WATKINS SECRETARIAL TRAINING Indexing, Sling, vocabulary building, the use of words, mimeographing, ink smudges that had to wear off, short' hand dreams, typing reports, stamping, folding, the sealing machine, multigraphing, speed, speed, and more speed but always accuracy-perhaps you will associate these things with my department in the years to come. We strove for 'ithe voice that smiles and to smile with the eyes-not the lips. We thought of why God gave woman two eyes and two ears and only one mouth. We learned that every letter is a visit and that the man who can make a three-cent stamp do that for which another man must use a salesman is the most potentially powerful force in the world today. We worked hard but we enjoyed it. Now that you are leaving me I miss you. Others will come and go hut the class of '37f'3S will always be a treasured memory. Fourteen

TYPEWRITING VIEWS AND A SHORTHAND CLASS This has been ai great class, a great year. Not only because Arlene Nelson, Ruth Byram, and jean Foley all broke thru the So wordfzvminute mark in typing with words to spare and Evelyn Mathews and Lois Bayley missed by only a single word but because of the spirit of fair play you evidenced in these weekly competitions. You knew how to play and how to work and, because you didn't mix the two, it was a pleasure to help direct you, I want to wish you success and happiness in the positions to which you are being sent.

OFFICE PRACTICE Learning is a collaboration between the teacher and the student. You can lead a boy to college but you can't make him think. It seems to me, that much of the success of this yeafs class has been clue to the cooperative spirit of its members. I will always remember how fine you were to work with. I know you will advance in business as you have in your Business Practice. Fnfrceu DOROTHEA JOHNSON
