These questions could be heard from some of 145 students in the commercial department, one of the busiest departments in C.H.S. this year. Five clases of typewriting were necessary this year since sophomores, as well as iuniors and seniors, were allowed to enroll in the course. A second class, secre- tarial practice, also made good use of the typewriters as well as the dictaphone, the teletyping set, the Olivetti computing machine, and the recorder. Other commercial courses were bookkeeping, short- hand, business law, business English, general business, a preparatory course for more advanced commercial subjects, and consumer economics, which teaches the minimum principles needed for wise management of ones personal business affairs.
