PATRICIA TIPPS MISS PEGGY WILLIS FUTURE STENOS LEARN TO PLEASE BOSS This time it is not the fault of Bill Martin that his typewriter won't type. Carolyn Malone and Charles Alexander watch as he changes The click of typewriters and the long columns ot the ribbon- debits and credits are part ot the sounds and sights in the commercial department. Courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice are ot- tered for the benefit of those students interested in stenographic and secretarial work. Valuable ex- perience is gained from the first hand operation ol business machines. Many Abilene High School students have ob- tained steady jobs with practical knowledge gained in commercial courses. First year typists struggle through time tests to achieve an average speed ot 60 w.p.h. Tabulations, letter forms and styles, practice ol proper care ol the typewriters, and black fingers that come from changing a ribbon are the things every commercial student remembers. PAGE 26

EARNEST SUBLET INTERESTS VARY IN FINE ARTS CLASSES The color of every costume, the making of every set, the need of every small property, and the fright that comes from forgetting lines are all parts of the excitement and strain that accompanies every stage production. Across from the busy activity on the stage, speech students are progressing from the study of the fundamentals to more advanced studies in plat- form speech or debate. Music, instrumental and choral, not in harmony as the sounds meet in the halls, later blend beauti- fully in concerts and musicals. The ability to express one's self in an artistic fashion is truly one of the finer things in life. Whether we create or give the inspiration for the creation, art is a beautiful thing. PAGE 27
