Pins and Awards Encourage Students Shorthand and typing combined this year to give us a two-period subject called Transcription. During the first period we took shorthand notes which we typed up during the following period. We competed for Gregg certificates during our junior year and for shorthand and typing pins. Our goal daily was to produce mailable transcripts which must be taken at a speed of from 80 to 100 words per minute. The rights and duties of citizenship in regard to legal proceedings were covered during Business Law class. We learned about insurance, contracts, stocks and bonds.

Join Forces to Conquer Modern World As Juniors, we found that math and science be- came more closely related. Intermediate Algebra took us into the realm of three unknowns and gave us the skill we needed to balance equations in Chemistry. Classroom instruction and lab work in Chemistry were supplemented by lectures we attended at R. P. and science club lecturers who spoke to us on topics related to our work. Rocks and minerals were the major topics Covered in Earth Science. We tapped stones and identified lumps of colored glass. I. A 'Q ,sim 'Y Y '::i ' x it ' ' ' nnruf..
