Technical advancement in secretarial work and the acceptance of women in private employment has made subjects in the com- mercial field among the most popular electives for girls. Junior Stenos, then, reflects the progress our schools have made in meeting the needs of their students. The Jr. Stenos, this year numbering fifteen, were the advanced typing and shorthand students. In September, the group elected Rita Morrissey as their president and chose Florine McCaffrey as vice- president, Betty Reinhold as secretary, and Marlene Jones as treasurer. These officers served for the en- tire year. On the first Monday of each month, a meeting was held in Room 1, Plans for future activities were fre- quently discussed, and different committees of two served each month. These committees, appointed by the president, were in charge of program, bulletin board, and refreshments. The girls on the program committee generally gave talks on different types of office work. The bulletin board was decorated each month, the decorations being based on a definite theme. The Jr. Stenos soon became known for the delicious refreshments they served, and faculty mem- bers were frequently invited to enjoy the food with them. On the fourteenth of February, the first year commerce students were guests of the Jr. Stenos at a Valentine's Day luncheon. In December and early in the spring, the group held bake sales, which were successful in helping to increase their treasury. Also. during the spring, the girls spent a very enjoyable week-end in Chicago. Miss Betty Brigham, advisor of the Jr. Stenos, and Miss Catherine Douvier accompanied the group for this trip.
