Besides the Royal and lBM electric typewriters and the new Olympia manuals, pupils are trained in the fundamental use of adding, mimeograph, and dictation machines. Enabling these future business workers to improve their abilities in typing and steno- graphy, the department furnishes tests pro- vided by the Gregg Company and the Facit Company. Another test which has been intro- duced to the students is the New Jersey Busi- ness Education Association typewriting test CN.J.B.E.A.l. In order to become acquained with the latest office techniques, two senior students are selected to represent the school and at- tend the monthly meetings sponsored by the National Office Management Association.

Those students who have achieved a high rating in their sub- jects are admitted as probationary members when juniors, and if they continue to meet the standards, they are inducted into the so- ciety during their senior year. The Holy Cross Chapter inducted twelve active members and five probationary members during this school year. The eyes have it-on the copy.

Home Economics Students Acquire Practical Arts Homemaking through practical experience is taught to enterprising young ladies of Holy Cross who wish to increase their knowledge of domestic living. Sewing machines and kitchen units provide the proper equipment and atmosphere for the performance of the daily chores of a home economist. Dressmaking, designing, utilizing color principles, and planning wardrobes and shop- ping lists are among the many aspects of their training. Gne of the highlights of the course is participation in the annual Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Contest. This extensive training adds to the stu- dents' freedom of choice, not only in the prob- lems of home lite, but also in encounters with the business of planning well, buying eco- nomically, and preparing attractively. Planning her work at the sewing machine is Louise Staley, while Eileen Opre, Patricia Hovart, Natalie Ham- ilton, Marie Woods, Barbara Harris and Rita Arm- strong work together to complete their products.
