COMMERCIAL STUDENTS ASSIST RATION BOARDS Typing at sixty words a minute didn't baffle Dorothy Garret, Elsie Hach, Mary Michel, Mary Rendell, Marcella VanGines, and Valerie Warsing while a shorthand speed of eighty words a minute was no chore for Lenora Alcock, Doris Anderson, Donna Arthur, Eleanor Collver, Shirley Dye, Arlene Fox, Clara Green, Loraine Hawkins, Leslie LaFlair, Donna Marx, Margaret Matson, Mary Michel, Joyce Parker, Harriet Sarow, Dorothy Stanko, Marjory Reed, Joyce Reeder, Marilyn Riedingler, Sally Trombley, Marcella VanGines, Joan Vermurlen, Barbara Walsh, Genevieve Winiecke, and June York. A speed of 120 words a minute may seem Mercurian but that is the rate many transcription students attain. In former years the students received speed pins, but because of the metal shortage certificates were awarded this year to Mary Kay Chism, Lorine Keinath, Lillian King, Florence Kutsch, Nina Parkin, Lila Pretzer, Ethel Simkins, and Betty Winterstein. Gaining practical skills in stenography and office work, by cut- ting stencils, typing letters and lists, and filing for the office and faculty the office practice class also tabulated the all-school math test. The fate of bookkeeping students lies in their practice sets which are graded at the end of the semster. By assisting merchants who were short of help, salesmanship students received pay for their work after school and on Saturdays. Mock trials were held during class and the students attended trials at the Court House to apply and check information gained in their commercial law study. Seventy-nine girls enrolled in the new blue print reading class with Mr. Ben O. Damberg, instructor. In preparation for work in the war industries the girls learned general terms and practiced reading prints. Mechanical drawing boys training for the industry experienced study in a layout, planning, drawing, tracing, and blueprinting commando course. Students worked on cabinets for the agriculture room, and on the tracing and printing of navigation charts. Shop students were instructed by Mr. W. H. McLeod, first semester, and Mr. Herbert Kent, second semester. Mr. Kent in- troduced a job plan for work in the shop, with job sheets as an integral part. Boys not busy with assigned jobs in metal or wood work, did blueprint reading or special projects, such as making plaques, lamps, coffee tables, trays, bowls, and smoking stands. Actual experience in running the machines was provided each boy to give him confidence in himself, which is necessary in securing a job. l'RAk l'll'Al, otliue experience is gained by llah XYull'g:liig', 'Irene Krause, Betty iiarrett at the llcsli Ruth Nlcl.e:in, Irene Gauze, and litliel Snnkins who help out in the srln-ol oflice.

HOMEMAKERS REJUVENATE CLINIC SUPPLY ATTENDANTS The clothing classes this year made utility bags for the army and slacks or shorts for themselves. The girls taking clothing 2 made slippers for the Red Cross and skirts and blouses, while the clothing 3 classes applied their needle work principles in making and embroidering women's bed jackets for Red Cross. They also knitted, crocheted, and pieced woolen blocks together for afghans. The clothing 4 classes applied their knowledge of tailoring by making men's bed jackets. They also made over men's old suits and coats into clothes for themselves. They learned a special method of shrinking new material and to appreciate the quality of materials used and made in 1943. They studied the War Production Conservation orders for the manufacture of clothing which made it possible to produce 15 per cent more garments out of the same yardage of cloth, and to tell the general restrictions made on all garments. They learned about the new fabrics which are being manufactured from synthetic fibers such as the soy bean which resembles wool. To prevent wasting material, they used materials having no right or wrong, up or down, sides. A definite program has been developed for consumer and retailer cooperation. All the cooking classes studied nutrition work and the plan- ning of rationed foods as a war time course. Studying home nursing and the care of children has prepared the girls for summer work of this nature. A decorating and furnishing project has been completed in the clinic, which has made it a pleasant place. In addition, the Red Cross Home Nursing course was taken by girls who have become attendants in the clinic giving necessary care to stu- dent patients. ICXAMINING completed Red Cross projects are Miss Florence XVells, Lois Kfvrbein, and Donna llurry. PRI-Il'ARlNG a tasty dish are Jacqueline Eckart, Joyce Gilles, and Albert Kile in a cooking class.
