Mental Commercial Discovering and training ability for office work, the commercial department offers to approximately 300 students such subjects as shorthand, with its queer looking dashes and curves, bookkeeping with its rows upon rows of debits and credits, commercial arithmetic with its many short cuts, commercial law with its legal terms, business principles with its many problems, advertising with its catchy copy, and sales- manship with its psychological approaches. Nineteen students from Mrs. Marie Crittenden and Miss Ruth Mellvenna’s shorthand II classes have put their characters and reading to pass their 80 word shorthand tests. Helen Fischer, Lorine Geyer, Margy Klein, Max- ine Lantz, Cecile Rick, Lorraine Salesky, and Irene Zeilinger share transcription laurels at the speed of 120 words a minute. Those having highest typing scores are Coral Oberlin with 68 words a minute; Susan Conzelman and Katherine Feit, 66; Shirley Ann Thurlow, 65; and Betty Wigen and Mildred Franz, 61. The more accurate students do typing for teachers and school secretarial work for practice. Advertising students really go behind the scenes of that great drama, advertising!
