Jvivqi- A- - I ' These seniors enthusiastically participate in their office practice class. We are prepared to enter the Many jobs throughout our United States are filled by previous students in the field of busi- ness: and, for this reason, there is a bright outlook after graduation for these students. Typing, of which three semesters are offered, seems to be more or less a favorite of many of the Ieff students. Basic fundamentals are stressed in the first semester, while speed and accuracy are emphasized during the last two semesters. Bookkeeping is a course which is valuable not only to future businessmen but also is very worthwhile for the average person. A workable knowledge of assets, liabilities, and profit and loss can aid everyone in his everyday life. A study of shorthand is very necessary for those people who plan to do secretarial work, but it can also be of great value for the college student in taking those necessary notes in class. The old saying about experience being the best teacher seems to be the foundation of the office practice course. Here the commercial stu- dent does actual office work, putting to good use all his previous training. Business law, merchandising, and selling are the more advanced courses in this department.
