Everybody wanTed Mr. Finkel aT The same Time he wanTed To Teach his law class, They were always inTeresTing, Though. Along wiTh TexT book cases, we always goT personal cases, which helped us To learn our sub- jecT beTTer and also To know our Teacher beTTer. The oTher Three days a week, TirsT period, we had oTTice pracTice, None of us will ever TorgeT ThaT day when we were assigned To work Tor various Teachers, each afraid They would give dicTaTion- and give iT TasT. In clerical pracTice we pushed all manner of liTTle keys, all manner oT ways, To Try To geT The righT answer. We soon found ouT There was more To iT Than iusT pushing a key and geTTing an answer and ThaT iT Took pracTice To geT Those righT answers. ShorThand was The class in which we had To apply all The knowledge drilled inTo us lasT year To Take Those leTTers. Taking The leTTers was one maTTer, buT Then making all ThaT chicken scraTching inTo a mail- able leTTer was quiTe anoTher maTTer. PracTice makes perTecT. And so iT musT be-or maybe iT was TypewriTers-They were always making errors. And if Those errors weren'T Tound by us you can be sure ThaT They didn'T escape The eyes of our Teacher. BUT now aTTer Two years oT pound- ing keys, we are able To Tind Them ourselves. Mrs. Elizobefh B. Scarborough, B.S., M.S. in Ed., Chairman Alice C. Thomas, B.S.
