Being the first course of its kind in the district, the new class, personal typing, was of an experimental nature. Offered for one semester and one credit, the course al- lowed students to work at their own speed and then drop out with full credit once they had fulfilled the set require- ments. Also offered in the Business Department were courses designed to cover the use of business machines and to give students an insight into the secretarial and account- ing fields. Distributive Education afforded students on- the-job training in salesmanship and market retailing. Mrs. Frieda Clark glances around in the business resource center.
