With most of the commercial classes meeting on the third level, emphasis in business education this year was placed on efficiency. After taking courses in Typing, Book- keeping, Filing, and Stenography, Park- ers were ready, willing, and able to compete for oftice jobs. While most Parkers enrolled in Com- mercial classes to further their ability in one or more areas, some students took Typing strictly for their own personal benefit. Whatever the reason, students learned quickly that capable instructors in this department really meant busi- ness.
