Business Classes Train Students for Office Work Preparing Hobart ' s young women for jobs as secretaries in the offices of the future is the HHS Business Department. From beginning typing classes through notehand, shorthand, and bookkeeping, the businesswomen (and men) of tomorrow are taught all the facets of the modern office. They learn how to operate office machines, and re- ceive an idea of office life. Many boys also take the beginning typing and notehand courses. They learn skills which will be valuable to them in taking notes in the lecture halls of their colleges and typing the many reports they will need in both high school and college. Those courses available under the Commerce curriculum are typing, short- hand, business English, business law, notehand, bookkeeping, office practice, and personal typing.
