Future Secretaries Enthusiastic Over Training Program Girls in Cooperative Office Practice are con¬ stantly busy trying to be well-groomed, attractive secretaries and office personnel. COP members are well-trained in the use of office machines, in specialized typing techniques, and diverse filing methods. As soon as class is over, each girl has a job wait¬ ing where she works in the afternoon to gain ex¬ perience in becoming a top-notch secretary or a “girl Friday, for an executive. Among some of the employers are Pilot, Jef¬ ferson, J. H. Harlance, Southern Life, Southern Bell, and Blue Bell. Susan Schumacher leaves school at noon for her on the job training program.

V- juju % It r Library Club Attends Asheville Meeting Good experience was gained this year by the Library Club. Under the guidance of Miss Cather¬ ine Weir, members not only helped in school acti¬ vities by working in the library but also attended interesting meetings in the state. There was a district meeting at Allen Jay and a convention at Asheville which members attended. Both of these events were interesting and enlightening. As members of the Library Club, it is the responsibility of out books, write overdue notices, shelve books and keep Sandra Peters, Gloria Wetmore, and Dora Hildreth to check the library neat and in order. 137
