Sounds of music may come floating through the corridor as typists’ rhythmic fingers tap the keys in time to lively tunes. Pencils fly over dictation pads, as future stenog- raphers write their shorthand notes for later transcription into Modern American English. In office practice classes, stu- dents learn to operate business machines. Future bookkeepers balance work sheets and learn to be accurate.

Sister Mary Timothy, chairman of the department, keeps her assistants, Sister Mary Kilian and Sister Mary Julian alerted to modern techniques through current periodicals and attendance at business workshops. Both teachers and students help other busy faculty members with secretarial assistance on many occasions.
