IIMI Often called upon to give recommenda- tions for jobs and to decide which student would receive the business scholarship at the end of the year, the teachers of Pacific ' s Business Department observed each pupil ' s progress in the acquisition and perfection of business procedures and the manipulation of office machines. They also stressed the importance of neat appearance and friend- ly attitude for a successful career. As an incentive to improve spelling, the National Office Men ' s Association offered pupils an opportunity to study for a series of spelling tests and awarded certificates of recommen dation, whichcould be usedwhen applying for work, to those who achieved perfect scores. Throughout the year the Better Business Corporation held Office days when the members dressed as if they were working in an office to emphasize the necessity of good grooming. At the B.B.C. meetings they often had guest speakers from down- town offices to explain the many positions open to a student majoring in business. 28 Paying rapt attention to their studies, Mrs. Ttiompson, Mr. Wolf, Miss Pieper, Mrs. McCoy, Mrs. Chausee, and Mr. Herron seemed totally unaware of Mr. Brown ' s just-wait-until-report-cards look.
