Wraliliing Packages Needs Skillful Technique October 4. 1941 tlVl.T.H.S.i. A piece of wrapping paper, a piece of cord and ninety seconds! This is the theme of the forty students who entered Manuals Salesmanship class this year, for one of the main requirements of a salesmanship student is to be able to wrap a mail order pack- afze, ready for shipment, in ninety seconds. The next requirement is to be able to make exact change. This is direct preparation for a sum- mer job in one of lJenver's de- partment stores. Most of the fortv students, with the aid of knowledge gained in class, wish to secure summer jobs. The third requirement is to be able to face any kind of situation that may occur on the job, and to handle it coollv. Reports on such books as How to Win Friends and Innuence People and The Art of Salesmanshipn are part of the regular class work.

Neatness and accuracy play an important part in learning the secrets of balancing an equation, solving t'or X and similar tasks. Such problems as the following make students fav their brains for various rules that might help them arrive at the riaht answer: X left the station zoina 10 miles per hour at 7:00. Y lcft the station at S245 travelinz 15 miles per hour. NVhen will Y overtake X? All mathematical subjects re- onire clear minds with the power of concentrationg therefore. stu- dents of math are well equipped to face the problems concerned not only with the' mvsteries of numerals, hut also with the daily occurrences that demand intelli- gent consideration. Solving equa- tions can be associated with solving questions of every dav life, and arriving at correct. con- clusions. Those students who are in the business field are greatlv aided by their math: for students who are now in the field of science and who are now the fact-finders of the world, math is a must.

Bookkeeping and Typing Students Are Guided By Miss Rhen lleeeinber 5, 1941 tM.T.ll.S.l. The bookkeeping elass, under the direction and able guidanve of' Miss lihen, is very advantage- ous, 11ot only in the business world, but also at home. This is true it1 regartl to the t'11n1ily bud- get, which is ll necessity in 21 wt-ll-tnanaged home. lt1 the business world, the sub- jet-f proves to be invaluable, The difficulties of' llkllilllldllg' the as- sets and liabilities are an essen- tial part of' bookkeeping, Deeply interested in welfare worlc, Miss lfreleen ll elpton has assisted many pupils in obtaining positions for the summer rush seasons and also permanently. BUYI G . Ji v yi! iff? fd Students Try to Possess Rhythm in Typing l-'ebruary lil, 1942 1M.T.H.S.l. ln the finanr-ial world of 11444 we will undotibtedly find a large pereentage of' the students who are now in the typing classes at Manual. These students, with the knowledge they have gained in typing and eommereial Classes, will be earning 11 living in the business world, l'ert'ec'fion is the aim of' these pupils, lllltl along with this pe-rf'ef'tion they are also trying to develop speed and ac'- 1-uracy. Typing alone is not the only task they lIlllSl master. They also learn responsibility and self- eontrol, for the business world has no plaee for a person who has not developed self'-eoiitrol, or a person who is llllkllllf' to earry responsibilities. Willing- ness to do what is required is one more of' the tasks ot' these students and they know that a grumbling employee is not kept long on the payroll. These boys and girls have also learned that good posture helps make good stenographers. They know through experienee that one van type longer, taster kllltl more aeeurately when the mus- cles are not cramped with sloueh- ing. M... Commercial subjects are taupttit skillfully by ,Visx Croaxdale. Speed tt-sts are given to pro- mote speed. Assignments with m i s t a k e s are not at-1-eptetlg which helps the pupils to develop at-t'111'1ic'y, because in the busi- ness world even the slightest error may eanse serious diffieul- ties. What seeretary would hold 11 position for any length of time if her work 1-ontained even minor errors? Ar-e11r11cy is abso- lutely necessary if the business girl wants to keep her position. Miss Croasdale and Miss Rhen are Manual's typing teachers. With the praetieal experience they give their students, we feel sure that the students will make the ideal typists of tomorrow, 'I 1 Each student attempts to make his speed higher erery day without forgetting accuracy.
