The newest and most advanced methods of teaching combined with the latest mechanical aids enables the student to achieve the highest degree of efficiency. To receive a certificate of merit in shorthand a potential secretary must be able to write a minimum of sixty words per minute, ln the spring Typing Certificate Tests are given with awards for typing five minutes, averaging thirty-five words or more per minute with a maximum of three errors. After completing a year's training in machine calc-ulation the Burroughs Company offers tests and iob opportunities for those who qualify. Local attorneys come to the personal law classes to lecture and the classes also spend one day in the Pasadena Courts to observe legal processes. Bookkeeping, business correspondence, office train- ing, and salesmanship are also offered to give assurance of the best possible training. Civil Service tests are available to any Senior who may qualify for them. Under the guidance of excellent instructors the graduate who has majored in business is qualified to accept many of the positions that may be offered in this field.

G- 7 in-' ,N 'xi' MRS. ANNA ADAMS MRS. ELLEN EASTVOLD MRS. JEANETTE GABEL English English English MR. RUSSELL GAGE Department Head English E.-mgii is The English Department this year, headed by Mr. Russell Gage, has started something new. In all classes more written essaysland compositions were required. Seeing the need for better expression in print, the English Department readily took action. Greater emphasis was placed on accuracy in spell- ing, also. In the near future the plan will be to bring out more oral work and self expression, along with a new increase in the reading and understanding, of great American literature. Seniors this year took on a greater appreciation of our English language. Out of 403 seniors enrolled in school, approximately 200 took this course. This total does not include the other phases of this de- partment, such as iournalism, drama and public speaking. These classes had their ample share of well-informed seniors. ln the journalism classes, taught by Mr. Fred Wil- helm, students learned the art of newspaper work, along with good rules and practical work on the Panther's Tale, Rosemead High School newspaper. In public speaking, those shy students soon learned to be amiable in front of a crowd and learned the methods of good conversation. They also were taught such things as voice control, and were given the opportunity to enter numerous speech contests. ii- ... idx ?
